Maria was my sister in law and best friend. She was an inspirational mother and friend and is deeply missed by so many people.

With support from Marie Curie nurses, Maria spent her last few days at home with James and her 4 young children. 

We set up a Facebook page to remember Maria - and for everyone to share their memories.

Without the support of Maria Curie, those last few days and moments together wouldn't have been possible. For that we're eternally grateful. More families should be able to send the last few days with their loved one at home - which is why I'm fundraising for Marie Curie.
