Fundraising for Marie Curie

[annwfyn]

I have discovered today that my li'l sis is climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care, who were absolutely brilliant when our Mum was ill, and enabled her to stay at home until she died.

Marie Curie are fabulous wonderful people, and so I would be very very appreciative if any of you folk who may be thinking about donating to charity would have a poke at Kate's website.

She is being sponsored by John Lewis (who she works for) to go on this climb - they are paying half her costs, and she's paying the other half herself, so every single penny that is raised through other folk will go to Marie Curie.

If you guys give her money, she may also stop thinking of all Sally's friends as dodgy goths and weird role players. Well, she may still think of most of you that way (except Leah) but I bet she'll think of you as nice dodgy goths and weird role players.

I know I'll like you more if you give Kate cash...

Hmm... She knew me *before I became* a dodgy goth/weird roleplayer...

Marie Curie were ace for us too. Will see what I can manage. :)

Good point. Well made. She'll keep liking you and know that you donated money coz you're a nice Oxford girl and that's what they do :p

Marie Curie are fab, aren't they? Having mum at home with a decent nurse made such a difference - to her at the time, to us at the time, and to all our memories now. I really am still incredibly grateful to them.

They were bloody wonderful and made a huge difference to us. Twice a day every day for weeks and weeks, and two nights a week for the latter part of it all. Oh, they rock.

Prod me at the weekend at the ZG games and I'll sort something out.

hey hon, just seen this, well I s'pose I prob can't get away with being described as a goth to be fair and perhaps I am exempt in virtue of having been her 'honorary sister' I think at one stage when I was particularly jealous of you girls and your Jane Austen like sisterly bedroom chats! :-)

Hence I said 'except Leah' :p

She knows you're not a goth! And she's known you since she was ickle and you were spending loads of time over at my house.

She's doing quite well with the fundraising, which makes me happy.
