Marie Curie is here for anyone with an illness they’re likely to die from, and those close to them. Whatever the illness, wherever you are, we’re with you to the end. We bring 75 years of experience and leading research to the care we give you at home, in our hospices and over the phone.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Along with a number of friends we are planning to take on the worlds highest mountain and trek to Everest Base Camp for Marie Curie Cancer Care. The trek will take part from the 9th - 26th February 2012, during this time Ruth Ann will be celebrating her 56th birthday (12/02/56) whilst on the ascent to 5364m so this will be no mean feat for her. We both have dear friends who suffer from this terrible illness and i lost my father to it some years ago so this cause is very dear to us.

By taking part in this challenge, we will be helping to continue providing care and support to terminally ill people and their families who are dealing with this terrible disease. Collectively we hope to raise £100,000 we are all planning a series of events throughout the year.

We fully understand times are difficult and greatly appreciate all donations to this very worthy cause. Remember every £20 pound donated provides 1 hour of care to a single patiient.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So its the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity. So please dig deep and donate now.
