Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. It really means a lot to me - and the Marie Curie Nurses I am raising money for.
All the money you donate goes directly to Marie Curie. I've covered the costs of my challenge already, so any amount you are able to give will make a big difference and go straight to helping people with terminal illness.
I've committed to join with a team of other Marie Curie fund-raisers and am embarking on a cycle challenge covering around 275km in five days, in February 2017 we'll ride from Granada in Nicaragua to San Jose in Costa Rica. The cycle route will ascend more than 4000mtrs in total, a challenge far, far outside of anything I've ever taken on before.
I’m raising money for Marie Curie because our family experienced first-hand the help they bring when someone you love has a terminal illness - and why their work is so important.
Marie Curie Nurses care for people with any terminal illness – not just terminal cancer – and they look after the whole family.
They provide support and reassurance to people at the worst time in their lives. It’s not just the person that is ill, but those who care for them too, who can be left with the lasting effects of losing someone.
The Marie Curie organisation need donations to continue running its Nursing service, its hospices, its Support Line and much more. So please donate if you can. More information on Marie Curie can be found on their website www.mariecurie.org.uk.
Thanks for your support
