The Bolton News has set an ambitious fundraising campaign in motion, as it looks to raise £200,000 for Marie Curie Cancer Care over the course of the next 12 months.
 Nurses: doing a wonderful job The paper is campaigning for the cash in a bid to double the number of hours that Marie Curie provides locally, thus allowing more patients access to the unique service offered by the charity's nurses.If the target is reached NHS Bolton has agreed to match the funding from its own budget and give the initiative further momentum. Ian Savage, editor-in-chief of The Bolton News, said of the appeal: “Marie Curie nurses do a wonderful and often emotionally challenging job. "Their work allows people with terrible illnesses to die with dignity and in the comfort and familiar surroundings of their own homes. “We are happy to be supporting this bid to raise £200,000, and I feel sure the generous people of Bolton will do us proud.” The campaign launched at an official event held in the town's Victoria Square on Thursday. Local Marie Curie nurse Sue Irwin has been chosen as the face of the appeal. www.theboltonnews.co.uk Something to add? Then leave a comment below or email us now.
