About Marie Curie
Marie Curie is a charity organisation that provides care and support to people with terminal illnesses, such as cancer. They offer a range of services, including nursing care, hospice care, and support for families. The charity was named after the famous scientist Marie Curie, known for her pioneering work in the field of radioactivity.
Marie Curie charity aims to ensure that individuals with terminal illnesses receive the best possible care and support during their difficult times. They have a team of dedicated nurses who provide hands-on care to patients in their homes or in hospices, helping to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
In addition to nursing care, Marie Curie offers emotional support to patients and their families, helping them cope with the challenges that come with terminal illness. They also provide practical assistance, such as helping with daily tasks and offering guidance on end-of-life care.
The charity relies on donations and fundraising efforts to continue providing their vital services to those in need. By supporting Marie Curie, individuals can contribute to ensuring that people with terminal illnesses receive compassionate care and support during their final days.
Marie Curie’s “Go Yellow”
Marie Curie’s “Go Yellow” day is a special event organised by the charity to raise awareness and funds for their important work supporting people with terminal illnesses.
On this day, supporters are encouraged to wear yellow and take part in various activities to show their support for the cause. It’s a vibrant and uplifting way to bring attention to the crucial services provided by Marie Curie.
MyLife Edinburgh’s Fundraising
The MyLife Edinburgh team, embracing the compassionate ethos of Marie Curie, joined in on this initiative. Each team member incorporated a touch of yellow into their workwear, symbolising warmth, positivity, and solidarity with those in need.
