Tuesday 12th May is International Nurses Day
This year more than ever, we ask you to support our incredible nursing staff who remain on the front line treating terminally ill patients in their hour of need. It costs £20 to provide one hour of nursing care. We are asking you to donate £20 and/or an hour of your time to thank our heroic nurses.
Whatever you do, no matter how much you raise or donate we will be extremely thankful, and you’ll help our nurses be there for more people in their hour of need.
How Can I Get Involved?
Donate £20
Donate £20 and know you’ve funded an hour of vital nursing care. You could even use that hour for good, do something you’ve been avoiding, try something new or do something you love in honour those in their hour of need.
Fundraise for an hour
Why not use the hour to fundraise for Marie Curie? You could host an online quiz or class for your friends. Or set yourself a physical challenge for an hour and ask for sponsorship. Set up a Justgiving Page for your fundraising challenge.
Challenge 20
As long as you stay within the governments guidelines on social distancing and exercising you can get as creative as you want around the number 20. Why not do 20 laps of your garden, 20 push ups or cycle 20k?
