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 so much for visiting my justgiving page.

On the 7th November I will be running my first ever marathon in New York for Marie Curie Cancer Care. The course involves me running 26 miles, overcoming hills, 5 bridges and lots of americans!

I would really appreciate if you could spare some money to help me raise money for this great cause.  Marie Curie means a lot to me as I lost my grandparents and my lovely friend Paul to cancer.

Marie Curie Nurses provide free nursing care to cancer patients and those with other terminal illnesses in their own homes.  They are also at the forefront of cancer research. They focus on how the cells of our bodies should normally operate; what causes these processes to go wrong, leading to cancer; and how better treatments can be developed.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – 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 it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you!
Rachel
