I AM writing on behalf of Marie Curie Cancer Care to thank everyone in the Ely area for their generous support of the Marie Curie Cancer Care Great Daffodil Appeal, which is supported by Yellow Pages, through the street collections held on March 1 and 3 in Ely and also at Tesco on February 14.

Your support has raised an amazing £2242.51 for the local Marie Curie nurses who provided free high quality nursing, to give terminally ill people the choice of dying at home while supported by their families.

This fantastic amount will mean that the local Marie Curie nurses will be able to provide 112 more nursing hours to people who are terminally ill with cancer.
