Your fundraising means so much right now. At a time when much of Marie Curie’s fundraising has been put on hold, your challenge will mean one family will get the compassionate care of a Marie Curie nurse for a whole night, providing expert support when they need it most.
Laura completed her virtual run in 2020 after her mum Lesley was cared for by Marie Curie before she died in June 2020.
“What reassured me is that with Marie Curie’s support, Mum didn’t die alone in a hospital. She was in a family home, surrounded by her family: my brother, sister-in-law, my dad, and the grandchildren. It was a positive end of life experience for all of us.
“It’s nice to be giving something back to a charity that meant so much to Mum. That’s what I tell myself when I’m plodding the streets at 6am.”
We know that fundraising isn’t always easy. But without incredible people like you, our Marie Curie Nurses couldn’t be there for people when they needed it most.
To thank you for your support, we’ll send you an official Marie Curie running top when you raise £20. And once you complete your challenge, you’ll receive your fantastic finishers medal - to wear with pride!*
