Many thanks for all your support
WE are writing on behalf of Marie Curie Cancer Care to thank everyone in South Yorkshire for their generous support of Marie Curie Cancer Care's Great Daffodil Appeal 2009, which took place throughout March and April earlier this year.
As part of the Great Daffodil Appeal 2009 we held over 65 collections on the streets, at football grounds and in stores across South Yorkshire. The success of the appeal depends upon people giving up their time to collect - our daffodils really aren't great without our volunteers so on behalf of everyone at Marie Curie Cancer Care and the patients who are cared for by Marie Curie Nurses in our area, thank you to every single one of our fantastic volunteers for giving up their time to help and also to everyone who donated.
The amazing support for the collections in South Yorkshire has raised an amazing 17,000 – over 3,000 more than during last year's Daffodil collections - for the local Marie Curie Nurses who provide free high quality nursing, to give local terminally ill people the choice of dying at home supported by their families.
This fantastic amount will mean that local Marie Curie Nurses will be able to provide over 850 more nursing hours to people who are terminally ill.
If you would like more information about Marie Curie Cancer Care, please visit our website at www.mariecurie.org.uk or call us in the South Yorkshire Fundraising Office on 0114 279 3010. There are lots of different ways you can give cancer patients and their families a better quality of life so why not get in touch today and see what opportunities and events there are coming up in your local area?
