Marie Curie provides care and support for people living with any terminal illness across the UK. Our nurses work night and day in people’s homes and our hospices offer specialist care. We also support people emotionally, provide practical information, and match them with trained volunteers.

Story

<p>The reason why I'm supporting Marie Curie Cancer Care is that my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and had to have a mastectomy. During 2011 her three younger sisters were all diagnosed with breast cancer and are now recuperating from the effects of the cancer treatment. &nbsp;My grandmother died of bowel cancer so this disease is probably lurking in my genes as well so I am being selfish by fund raising I am benefitting others now and perhaps myself some time in the future.</p> <p>Last year 413 people broke the Guinness World Record for the largest number of mixed nude swimmers and raised over &pound;25,000 for Marie Curie Cancer Care. This year we are doing it all over again so I am most grateful to my family, friends and colleagues for their support for this mad cap venture. &nbsp;We are also looking for more people to take part so please click on the link to register if you would like to join us:</p> <p><a href="http://skinnydip2012.eventbrite.com/?ebtv=C">http://skinnydip2012.eventbrite.com/?ebtv=C</a></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to Marie Curie Cancer Care and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now - thank you. Lesley xxx</p>
