My wifes’s Uncle Mel bravely battled cancer for over 2 years. At the end of his life he was very grateful to receive overnight care from Marie Curie. One of the nurses was with him on the night he sadly passed, and we cannot thank them enough for the help and support Mel and the family received during this very difficult time.

I am taking on the challenge of ‘Beat the trails 13 Tors’ as part of a team with my wife, sister-in-law and brother-in-law, walking a 14 mile trail across 13 Tors of Dartmoor, in the hope of raising some funds for this amazing charity. Just £207 could help fund nine hours ofovernight nursing care.

Marie Curie is here for anyone with an illness they’re likely to die from, and those close to them. Whatever the illness, wherever you are, we’re with you to the end. We bring 75 years of experience and leading research to the care we give you at home, in our hospices and over the phone. And we push for a better end of life for all by campaigning and sharing research to change the system.

Marie Curie is a charity working across the UK and we need your support to do our vital work.
