THE Marie Curie Great Daffodil Appeal has launched in Middlewich and the charity is asking residents to make a donation and wear a daffodil pin to support people living with terminal illnesses.

The Great Daffodil Appeal runs throughout March and is Marie Curie’s biggest fundraiser.

All the funds raised from the appeal will help Marie Curie Nurses provide care to someone living with a terminal illness, so they can spend more time with the people they love.

Laura Tomlinson, community fundraiser, said: “We need everyone in Middlewich to get behind the appeal by donating and wearing one of our daffodil pins during March. Every penny you can give is vital in helping Marie Curie provide free hands-on care to people living with a terminal illness and support for their families.”

Marie Curie will be collecting for the Great Daffodil Appeal at Tesco in Middlewich on Friday, March 13.

You can make a donation and receive a pin from volunteer collectors, in local stores and Marie Curie shops throughout March. You can also pledge £5, by texting DAFF to 70111.
