Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

My Daughter Summer (aged 7) wanted to do something to raise money for charity. she heard the advert on our local radio station 96.4fm the wave advertising the event, She asked me to explain who Marie Curie were and what they did. Instantly she decided she wanted to sign up, and to be completly honest i thought it would be perfect for both our abilities (i am not the most athletic person) 

The event is called "walk ten" this will take place during twighlight hours at margam park, on August 17th 2013. The walk is approx 10k in distance. Our aim is to raise money to support the work of Marie Curie Nurses in our area. 

 

"Marie Curie services in Wales

 

Marie Curie Cancer Care is a leading provider of end of life care in Wales

We have more than 130 Marie Curie Nurses working in communities across the country, along with our hospice in Penarth, near Cardiff.

This year, Marie Curie Nurses, doctors and other healthcare professionals will care for more than 2,250 people with a terminal illness as well as provide support for their families.

The care we provide is free of charge and available to anyone with any terminal illness. In particular, we believe that everyone should have the choice to die at home.

As a world leader in researching better ways to care for patients at the end of life, we also campaign for better end of life care in Wales.

We provide funding to support the Marie Curie Palliative Care Research Centre, Cardiff.

As well as developing its own research portfolio, the centre aims to support and advise researchers from around Wales and the rest of the UK in study development.

Particular areas of interest are palliative rehabilitation, patient experience, end of life research methodology and the impact of thrombosis in palliative settings..

We need to raise more than £4 million per year to fund its hospice and nursing care in Wales, which is also supported by local health boards.

Marie Curie Cancer Care is governed by a UK Board of Trustees and has a Welsh Advisory Board chaired by Gareth Williams."
