Local MP Maria Miller showed her support for the Marie Curie Daffodil Appeal last Saturday at Chineham Shopping Centre by being part of the team collecting for this year’s appeal.
The funds raised help to provide more free care for people with terminal cancer and other illnesses. Marie Curie nurses care for patients in their homes and in 10 Marie Curie hospices around the country.
Maria said “It was great to be part of the appeal again, and people in Chineham were very generous in showing their support for the work of Marie Curie Cancer Care. The charity is dependent on people’s donations and on people volunteering to help, for example with these collections.”
“So many people’s lives have been touched by the work of Marie Curie Cancer Care, and it is really important to join forces and raise money to make sure that they can continue to deliver this care and support to so many people.”
