Heather is a Marie Curie Nurse who works through the night and into the day to care for people with terminal cancer and other illnesses.
Along with her colleagues, she makes it possible for people in the Essex area to live their last days at home, rather than go into hospital.
But everyone should have access to high quality end of life care, and we need your support to help more local people when they need it most.
Thanks to the generosity of people in Essex, our Marie Curie Nurses' were able to care for 856 patients last year.
But we need to raise £538,000 so we can continue helping patients in the area.
