Fine, I hear you say, that's not a particularly hard challenge for a woman as fit and athletic as Ruth ().

By donating, you’re helping make sure people living with terminal illness and bereavement get the support they need. Anything you donate, however small, can make a real difference to people at the end of their lives. 

£3 pays for a meal for a patient in one of their hospices. 

£23 pays for one Marie Curie nurse to provide an hour of expert care. 

£207 pays for nine hours of nursing care, so people can be looked after overnight. 

Every penny counts. Thank you for your support!
