SIR,

I am urgently calling on people from Monmouth to give up just two hours of their time during February to help raise vital funds for the charity's annual Great Daffodil Appeal, supported by Yellow Pages.

 By donating a little of your spare time to collect in the street on Saturday 28th February you will help make it possible for Marie Curie Nurses to carry on making a difference to the lives of  people with terminal illnesses nationwide.

 This year the charity expects to provide free care to around 27,000 terminally ill patients in the community and its ten hospices, but unfortunately there is an ever increasing demand for the service. With your help we can continue to give people in your community free specialist end-of-life nursing care.

 Every donation for a daffodil will help the charity towards their appeal target of £5.5 million so, if you can help with fundraising in February, please contact Claire Notman on 02920 426068. 

Thank you in advance for your support.  Your help will make a difference to thousands of people.

 Claire Norman

(Community Fundraiser,

South East Wales)
