Clwyd East MP Becky Gittins teamed up with actor Larry Lamb at an event in Westminster to celebrate and Marie Curie's annual Great Daffodil Appeal.
Every five minutes, someone dies without the support they need. By donating and wearing a daffodil this March, people can change that and help Marie Curie Nurses bring expert end of life care when there’s no cure, whatever the illness.
Money raised also funds the charity’s free support line and webchat which is available to anyone with an illness they’re likely to die from and those close to them, offering practical and emotional support on any aspect of dying, death and bereavement.
Becky Gittins said: “I’m proud to be supporting Marie Curie and their mission to ensure that everyone at end of life can get the care and support they need, when and where they need it most.
“I’m urging people across Clwyd East to show their support for the Great Daffodil Appeal in any way they can.”
Larry Lamb, who has been a huge supporter of Marie Curie since his brother received care from the charity before he died, said: “As a long-time supporter of Marie Curie, I have witnessed first-hand the amazing work they do to support people and their loved ones at the end of life.
“Marie Curie cared for my brother, and I’ll always be grateful for the care and support they gave him.
“The work Marie Curie does is so crucial, providing care that protects someone’s dignity and makes sure they’re not alone or in avoidable pain. The Great Daffodil Appeal only happens once a year and can help Marie Curie bring expert end of life care to so many – whatever the illness. That’s why I’m urging everyone to show their support.”
