I seen first hand the care and dignity Marie Curie provide when they looked after a dear friend of many in the North East, George Elliott. I promised him before his passing that I will do the Great North Run for him, and here we are!

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.
