Get to know our Charity of the Year

If you or someone you love had a terminal illness, what would you want in your final days?

For most people, it would be to spend them peacefully at home surrounded by the warmth of family and friends. But too many people die alone or in pain, without the care they truly deserve, and that’s heartbreaking.

In fact, every five minutes someone dies without the care they need. Marie Curie wants to fix that, and we need your help.

Every day, our nurses deliver expert care, comfort and dignity to people living with terminal illness. But more and more people urgently need our care. In fact, as more of us will be diagnosed with an illness we’ll die from, it’s only going to get more urgent. 

There’s only one chance to give people the best possible end of life. Take it. Join Team Marie Curie today. You’ll make a genuine difference to people at their most difficult time. You’ll help families at breaking point, support carers under pressure and give loved ones a listening ear. Step by step, we’ll do all this together. 

The race is on to help fix end of life care. To help our nurses. And to reach the Finish Line with a smile on our face. Join #TeamMarieCurie today.

You’ll be part of the biggest and loudest team on Marathon Day. We’ll have our fantastic yellow Cheer Stations along the route, to keep you going through those tough miles, and celebrate with your family and friends at our post-event reception.

To help you prep, you’ll receive one-to-one fundraising support from our expert team and your own personalised running kit. It doesn’t stop there. You’ll have access to tailored training support from the coaches at Coopah: the Run Coaching App, and can join our online and in-person training days.
