AS a Marie Curie Nursing team member in York I am grateful for the fundraising efforts of your readers which enable me and my colleagues to help more people living with a terminal illness, and their families.

I want to ask if your readers will continue this support by hosting their own Blooming Great Tea Party for Marie Curie between June 20 and 29.

To date, Blooming Great Tea Party events across the UK have raised over £4.5 million since 2008.

By hosting a Blooming Great Tea Party this summer you will be helping Marie Curie Nurses like me to provide more hands-on care and vital emotional support.

Please register to host your Blooming Great Tea Party at www.mariecurie.org.uk/teaparty or call 01904 755260.

Share your ideas and photos on social media using #BloomingGreat.

Thank you for your support.

Jenny White, Marie Curie Nurse, North Yorkshire
