Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my fundraising page where I’d like to share not only updates on the trek itself but a little bit about why I’m supporting Marie Curie Cymru.

Nearly five years ago the wonderful team of nurses and doctors at Holme Tower, our local Marie Curie hospice in Penarth, looked after my amazing Mum, Fran, during the last weeks of her life. By taking part in this trek to Petra I am hoping to support Marie Curie Cymru in their ongoing efforts to raise much-needed funds so that they can continue to take care of not only their patients but also their families and loved ones. What they do every day is so important and I hope this can give me a chance to show them just how grateful I am for everything they did at one of the most difficult times of our lives.

“Every day of your life matters from the first to the last.

Marie Curie believe that everyone living with a terminal illness should be able to get the most from the time they have left, however hard that may sometimes feel. We'll be here for you and your family when you may feel like no-one else is, to help you cope when you don't know how.

Marie Curie Nurses care for you in your home, when you need them most, day or night. Our hospices are at the heart of communities around the UK. And our trained volunteers and advisers are here for you with practical information and support when you don't know what to do next or just need to talk. We'll be by your side with care and support every step of the way, bringing light in the darkest hours.”
