Thank you to everyone who got involved today.

One of the tasks of today took us to Byker Morrisons to help raise money for Marie Curie.

Before the task started I browsed the aisles of Morrisons looking for spargel (white asparagus). I know it is not the season for it, however I wanted to see if they had a jar of it. There was no spargel.

This morning Angie and I met the lovely Pam who is a regular Marie Curie volunteer and who does collections all across the North East. They gave us our wonderful Marie Curie hats and we got into action collecting for Marie Curie.

We met some lovely people this morning. Some wanting to share some personal stories of them losing their loved ones.

Paula talked with a lady who donates to Marie Curie every week. They boot people out from Wetherspoons and help vulnerable people with their shopping.

People were very generous with their donations. Goodgym members Suze, Zoe and Seb made some kind donations. Thank you to every single person who stopped to talk, give a donation and to receive a daffodil.

This is the fourth year that we have supported Marie Curie with their daffodil appeal. Here is to the next four years.

A big shoutout to my friend Emily who completed a half marathon today. Another big shoutout to my friend Kate who was the best cheerleader. So so proud of you both.
