Today was a day off work. A holiday after a busy week last week. A day to have a slightly long lie in after a few late nights staying up to watch the Winter Olympics.
A letter dropped through the letterbox and it was such as surprise. It was a letter from Marie Curie Cancer Care congratulating me on completing the trek and thanking me for the funds that I raised together with your help.
The long and the short of the letter is confirmation that I raised £4000 - yay! And for every £20 we raised Marie Curie Cancer Care provides one hour's nursing care to someone with a terminal illness in their own home. £160 allows for a full night shift. I don't know about you but i think it was well worth it. I think you've helped me make a few people's lives a little bit easier with care in their own homes at a time where all they might want to be is in their own homes and beds. I always wondered what the money would be used for, and now i know.
Once again, many many thanks to all of you who sponsored me and helped me fundraise. Together we have done something very good.
