Morrisons oldest colleague, Irene is one of Marie Curie’s wonderful fundraisers. She’s been fundraising for 36 years and has spent 25 of those raising funds at  Morrisons Solihull store. Despite going through multiple cancer operations and a full hip replacement herself, at 92 years old she’s dedicated so much to raising funds for Marie Curie. 

Usually, in March Irene would be out collecting alongside other collectors for Marie Curie's Great Daffodil Appeal, however this year due to the pandemic, Irene isn't able to collect. Even though Irene can't be out with her bucket and iconic yellow hat this year, Irene still wants to raise as much as she can for Marie Curie and you can donate directly to Irene's fundraising this year through JustGiving.
