I am trying to raise a minimum of £2750 to support Marie Curie Cancer Care.

In January 2007 my mum was told she had terminal cancer and only had a few months to live,   I  never once thought this would happen to our family it tore us to pieces. Over the next few months my mum battled away and stayed as strong as she could for us.    By the middle of May it was obvious she was quickly losing her battle.  This was the first time she stayed in the Marie Curie hospice and the first time any of us had been there. 

Straight away I was bowled over at how good the place was,   my mum was so comfortable and happy in there it made life a lot easier for everyone.  Everything about the place was amazing, every member of staff couldnt do enough to help us, and the private comfortable hotel like rooms were superb.  

Sadly on June 5 2007 my Mum passed away in the Marie Curie Centre, she was so well looked after and peaceful in her final hours all thanks to Marie Curie care.   It was then I started realising that without volunteers and fundraising the Marie Curie hospices would not exist.    I then became determined to do my bit to support this amazing place and help families like ours who will need the help and expert support Marie Curie provides.   From October 30  - November 6 2010 I will be participating in a 250mile bike ride through Jordan, through sponsorship I would like to raise as much money as possible for Marie Curie Care and do my bit to allow this amazing place to be around for as long as possible for others and their families.
