Cape Wrath Challenge welcome Two new sponsors for 2009

Marie Curie Cancer Care nurses make it possible for people to live to the very last moment – at home, rather than go into hospital – every minute of every day, someone is being cared for by a Marie Curie Nurse or Healthcare Assistant.
Working in communities across the UK – from remote Scottish islands through villages and towns to our biggest cities – Marie Curie Nurses now care for around half of all cancer patients who die at home.
The service is always free of charge to patients and carers and is available through your District Nurse or GP
Marie Curie Nurses generally work at night – spending eight or nine hours in the patient’s home – allowing carers to rest knowing their loved-one is in safe hands.
In addition to providing care for the patient, Marie Curie Nurses are also there to support carers at what can be an emotional and stressful time.
The presence of a Marie Curie Nurse in the home can often make the difference between the patient being able to remain at home and being admitted to a hospital.
Marie Curie Nurses are also available during the day time and early evenings
The money raised from this event will support this vital service in your community.
