Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

I am running my first Great North Run (and my first half marathon) on September 18th.  I secured my place through the ballot but still wanted to run for a worthy cause so I have decided to run for Marie Curie Cancer Care.  Unfortunately most of us have had our lives affected by cancer in some way and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has lost some very special people to this awful disease.

 

Marie Curie Cancer Care provides high quality nursing, totally free, to give people with terminal cancer and other illnesses the choice of dying at home, supported by their families. It runs nine Marie Curie Hospices across the UK offering free specialist care for patients and support for families. The charity conducts palliative care research to find better ways of caring for terminally ill people and also funds scientists who investigate the causes and treatments of cancer.

 

Every £20 raised will provide an hour of nursing care for someone with cancer, in your area.

 

So please dig deep and donate now :)
