Story
I am running the marathon at 2024 Edinburgh Marathon Festival in aid of Marie Curie and in memory of my late father in law, Ronnie McIntyre !💛
Marie Curie nurses helped to support us during Ronnie's illness. They not only provided care through the night for him but were there to support all the family, answering questions and providing reassurance. We will be eternally grateful for all they did for Ronnie and this is my way of saying 'Thank You'.
Every 5 minutes someone in the UK dies without the care and support they need. But with your help we can support more people in the UK so that more people get the care they need when they need it.
Where your donation could go:
· £26 could help fund an hour of bereavement support by phone for friends or family of someone with a terminal illness.
· £190 could help fund an electricity bill for a hospice for a day
· £530 could help fund a Helper volunteer to support a household for a year. They help provide companionship to someone with a terminal illness, a simple chat with a cup of tea, or help with errands such as a food shop.
