A wonderful team of Marie Currie nurses helped care for my beautiful Nan at home in her final weeks. This took some of the load off my mom and family. Something which we are eternally grateful for. I’ll be thinking of her as I run this event and also the amazing people at Marie Curie.

I am running in aid of Marie Curie, taking on the marathon at Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2024! 💛

Every 5 minutes someone in the UK dies without the care and support they need. But with your help we can support more people in the UK so that more people get the care they need when they need it.

Where your donation could go:

· £26 could help fund an hour of bereavement support by phone for friends or family of someone with a terminal illness.

· £190 could help fund an electricity bill for a hospice for a day

· £530 could help fund a Helper volunteer to support a household for a year. They help provide companionship to someone with a terminal illness, a simple chat with a cup of tea, or help with errands such as a food shop.
