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

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page and all your support in our many charity challenges in India, China, Egypt and Poland over the years.

Having cycled from North to South Wales in the summer of 2008 we feel we are well used to tackling hills, so our next serious venture is the Canadian Rockies which will be 20th-27th June 2009!!

As described in the itinery there will be some "monster hills" but "breath taking scenery on a grand scale" - but will we be fit enough?

This is our biggest challenge yet and helps us to pay back the charities that have supported us in our own cancer battle. Cath and her elder sister, Margaret, have both had breast cancer and we have lost Tony's Dad, Cath's Mum and - most recently Auntie Jean - through cancer so we could not think of a better cause.

One in three people are being diagnosed with cancer so there is more than a chance that you will either have a friend or relative who has been diagnosed with this terrible illness, so please give generously as Marie Curie will need all the help they can get especially during the credit crunch. Please help us help them.


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Marie Curie Cancer Care gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor us now, we are sure you will agree it is for an excellent cause so please dig deep!

Thank you so much.

Tony and Cath
