On 27 September, my Dad and I, Marie’s Minions, will be taking on the huge challenge of running the BMW BERLIN MARATHON in aid of Marie Curie.

My Mum was not cared for by the Marie Curie nurses, as we received incredible support from the hospital directly. However, we think they do such an incredible job that we want to run for them so if anyone sadly finds themselves or a loved one in a similar position, they get the care and support they need.

All the money raised will help Marie Curie provide vital care and support to people living with a terminal illness, and their families at the toughest time.

£3 helps fund a meal for a patient in one of their hospices.

£26 helps fund an hour of bereavement support by phone

or webchat.

£207 helps fund nine hours of overnight nursing care in a patient's home.

Thank you so much for donating whatever you can, it really will make a massive difference.
