We are raising money for Marie Curie and CLIC Sargent.  If you want to donate to CLIC Sargent then Halifax Bank of Scotland will double the money we raise £ for £.  They will also match up to £500 for the money we can raise for Marie Curie so dig deep.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Marie Curie Cancer Care will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.
