I am running the Great North Run to raise money for Marie Curie in support of Em & her fundraising efforts for her amazing Mum.

Em has done such an incredible job fundraising for the 2024 GNR and is aiming to do the same again this year with even more incentive to raise funds (please read her words below)

This charity means a lot to us both with Marie Curie currently looking after Denise (Em’s mum) and also providing amazing care for my Nana in the time before she passed away in 2014.

Em’s words:

“Not long after I completed the GNR, My Mum was diagnosed with an aggressive and sadly terminal cancer in 2024. She has been receiving care from the Marie Curie team at home. They have been there whenever needed, and the care they have provided to my mum is always so diligent and compassionate. They’ve also been incredibly supportive for my family at such a horrendous time. They really are doing gods work!”-

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.
