Marie Curie
14th November 2015
Marie Curie Malone Group are a small committee which formed over 6 years
ago following the enormous success of a charity walk organised by our
founding committee member, Kathy Loughridge.
The walk, which was named in memory of Kathy's mother Annie, brother
Joseph and sister Ann, who all tragically died from cancer. Marie Curie
nursing staff provided incredible support to Kathy during this dreadful time.
As a result of our own experiences, and the knowledge that Marie Curie
relies entirely on public donations for its survival, our committee along with
friends and family, have committed to raise £100,000 collectively each year
through key social and sporting events.
For information on our past and forthcoming events, please refer to
www.thetimeball.org
We hope you enjoy this evening's entertainment and thank you and
all our sponsors this evening for your continuing support.
Kathy, Susie and Mark
