Watch our full conversation about cancer on YouTube
This week, we are sharing content around cancer awareness.
All of this is about starting conversations, raising awareness, and helping people find the help they need wherever they are.
Our goal for this week actually started last year when various members of the team and our friends and family shared our stories about cancer. Led by Cancer Support Suffolk CEO Mark Murphy, we shared our thoughts and experiences of this horrible disease that impacts so many people!
Every day, we will be pointing you back to this conversation in the hope it can help you or someone you know when you need it most.

2 weeks ago, a local charity to us, Cancer Support Suffolk, raised £37,000 to help cancer patients and their families by hosting the second annual Classic and Sports Cars by the Bridge event.
We worked with this incredible charity last year by helping to raise £12,000 as well as sharing some of our personal stories about cancer. The conversation we had was raw, honest, and extremely emotional.

Last year, several members of the Bridge Classic Cars team got together with some of our family and friends to start a conversation about our experience with cancer.
As it impacts so many people, this week, we want to start more conversations and help those in need find the right support.
