March’s Great Daffodil Appeal

Friday, March 4th, 2011

During the month of March, Christopher Pincher will add a dash of colour to his lapel in the form of a yellow daffodil to raise awareness for the important work by Marie Curie nurses. Part of a larger campaign, The Great Daffodil Appeal, the daffodil is the emblem of the charity and throughout March, a number of iconic landmarks will turn yellow to promote greater support.

“I am delighted to supported such a worthwhile cause and encourage Tamworth residents to join in this spring by wearing yellow or requesting a pin. Marie Curie’s network of over 2,000 Nurses provide invaluable care for more than 31,000 terminally ill patients. We can easily shed light on their important work by adding a dash of yellow to our wardrobes this March.”

Marie Curie Nurses provide free nursing care to terminally ill people so that they can spend their final days at home or in a Marie curie Hospice surrounded by their loved ones.  More information can be found at www.mariecurie.org.uk/daffodil.
