Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am going to attempt a London to Paris bike ride on the 22nd June 2013 in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care.

 

 

 

Marie Curie Cancer Care is a UK charity dedicated to the care of people with terminal cancer and other illnesses. Over the financial year 2010/11,they reached a total of 31,799 patients.

Marie Curie currently, has 2,000 nurses who work in the homes of terminally ill patients across the UK, providing practical care and support.

Over the year, their nurses provided 1.2 million hours of nursing to 23,406 patients, along with support for their families.

There are nine Marie Curie Hospices across the UK which provide expert care and the best quality of life for people with cancer and other illnesses.

Marie Curie are the biggest provider of hospice beds outside the NHS, and  are expanding outpatient and day services at all their hospices.  Marie Curie hospices reached 8,393 people in 2010/11.

There are Marie Curie Hospices in Belfast, Bradford, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Hampstead (London), Liverpool, Newcastle, Penarth (near Cardiff) and Solihull.

Marie Curie are campaigning for more patients to be able to be cared for and die in their place of choice. Research shows around 64 per cent of people would like to die at home if they had a terminal illness, with a sizeable minority opting for hospice care.
