<p><strong>Merry Christmas!</strong></p> <p>Festive spirits are high this year and tweeters are creating their very own Social Advent Calendar - <a href="http://www.twadvent.com" target="_blank">http://www.twadvent.com</a></p> <p>As we all know, social media is NOT just for fundraising, but if you'd like to help give a terminally ill person the best gift of all - <em>Christmas at home with their family</em> - please give whatever you can.</p> <p><em>&pound;20 could pay for a Marie Curie Nurse to visit a patient for one hour giving them time to watch their children open their presents.</em></p> <p><em>&pound;80 could pay for a Marie Curie Nurse to look after someone with cancer for half a day - in that time a patient can be cared for as they sit with their family for Christmas dinner.</em></p> <p><em>&pound;160 could pay for a Marie Curie Nurse to spend a whole shift of up to eight hours with a patient - so they can make the most of Christmas at home with their family.</em></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 the charity 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>
