Urgent Appeal: Marie Curie Seeks to Raise £1 Million in 36 Hours to Support Critical Care Needs

In an urgent call to action, Marie Curie has announced a remarkable effort to raise £1 million within a span of just 36 hours, starting from 10am on Sunday, 17th March, and concluding at 10pm on Monday, 18th March.

This substantial fund aims to address a pressing need: within the next 36 hours, 400 individuals could face the end of their lives without the essential care and support they desperately require.

The charity, renowned for its commitment to providing end-of-life care, has outlined how the funds raised through this appeal will be utilised. A total of £1 million would enable the provision of 4,830 nights of Marie Curie home nursing care, offering solace and support to those in their final days. Additionally, the sum would sustain the charity’s support line for three and a half years, a critical resource for many seeking guidance and comfort during challenging times.

In an added incentive to encourage contributions, Marie Curie has announced that the first £100,000 raised during this 36-hour window will be matched by generous funders, effectively doubling the impact of early donations.

The appeal is not limited to the South West but seeks to galvanise support across Cornwall and beyond, urging the community to come together in a collective effort to meet this ambitious target. As the clock ticks, Marie Curie invites everyone to contribute to this vital cause, ensuring that no one has to face their final moments alone.

For those moved by the urgency of this appeal and wishing to make a difference, details on how to get involved and contribute to the fundraising effort can be found at the dedicated campaign page: https://www.charityextra.com/mariecurie/mc-england.

In a time when compassion and support are needed more than ever, the call to action is clear. Marie Curie implores the community to join hands in this critical endeavour, helping to secure the necessary funds to provide care and comfort to those in need, ensuring they are not alone in their most vulnerable moments.
