"I'm a mixture of emotions – I'm excited and nervous.

"I'm happy to be able to raise the money for such a good cause.

"Marie Curie helped nanny Furse die at home where she was more comfortable. She passed away when I was in secondary school and it just makes you think more about life and how precious it is.

"They also helped my nan Christine Connolly to cope with all the stress and anguish while and after my great-grandmother was dying."
