Later in September, I will be taking on the challenge of abseiling down 15 floors of KPMG's London office for Marie Curie.

As many of you know, my connection to Marie Curie began in 2006 by running the Great North Run, just one month before my Dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer. It was very poignant to have run for Marie Curie and then experience losing someone so important to me to terminal illness. Their resources really helped me to support my young family at the time as well as my other close family.

Marie Curie is there for anyone with a terminal illness, whether it's terminal cancer or other illnesses such as motor neurone disease, dementia or heart failure. They offer expert care, guidance and support to help people get the most from the time they have left.

I would like to thank everyone who supported my target to raise £100 for the 20k walk I completed at the start of July.

This new £300 fundraising target will help fund 13 hours of nursing care, which could be spent helping someone manage their pain, giving emotional support and offering families chance to rest and be in the moment with their loved ones.

With your help, Marie Curie Nurses can be there for more people in need. Thank you on behalf of the families Marie Curie support.
