Many took part in memory of relatives and friends who received the charity's nursing care in their final days
Hundreds of people took part in Marie Curie's Twilight Walk this weekend to support the end of life charity.
Around 700 participants walked 7km (4.3 miles) around Barnett Demesne in Belfast on Saturday night, September 27, in celebration and in memory of relatives and friends who received Marie Curie’s nursing care in their final days.
Marie Curie Healthcare Assistant Jemma Sewell joined the walkers in memory of her aunt Joanne Galbraith, who died of ovarian cancer in January 2024, aged 58.
She said: “The quality of care that Marie Curie provides for patients, as well as the holistic care for families, is second to none. My own family experienced this first hand when my aunt Joanne was cared for at the Marie Curie hospice in Belfast last year.
"So, I walked tonight in memory of aunt Joanne and all those who I’ve been privileged to care for at the end of their lives.”
