Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. Kirsty and I will be participating in a 10km sponsored twilight walk at Bolton Abbey on 28th August to raise funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care Nurses.
All of our lives have been affected by cancer, be it a family member, friend or even yourself and we feel that this is a very worthwhile cause.
Please sponsor us - ever little donation matters, no matter how small, and every donation is received with thanks and appreciation.
Marie Curie Nurses
Research commissioned by Marie Curie Cancer Care shows that 65 per cent of people would choose to die at home. In reality, only 25 per cent achieve this.
Every year, Marie Curie Nurses make that wish possible for thousands of people with terminal cancer and other illnesses across the UK.
Our nurses now care for around 50 per cent of all cancer patients who die at home. They work through the night or during the day to provide care for patients in the comfortable and familiar surroundings of their own home.
They also provide practical and emotional support for carers and families at what can be an exhausting time. Marie Curie Nursing is always free of charge to patients and carers.
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 - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Thank you.
Petra and Kirsty.
