Supermarket Asda is donating 250 gifts to Marie Curie nurses who gave up their own
family Christmas to care for terminally ill people over Christmas and the New Year.

Gifts include luxury bouquets of flowers and an Olay Double Action Day Cream.

Lisa Burnett, head of Asda in the Community, said: “We are delighted to offer a 
festive thank you to the wonderful Marie Curie Nurses whose care and dedication 
meant someone with a terminal illness could spend their last Christmas at home. 
These nurses put so much hard work and dedication into caring for patients and their
families that we wanted to say thank you at a special time of year.”
