I AM appealing to your readers to volunteer for Marie Curie Cancer Care's Great Daffodil Appeal, and help people with a terminal illness in Cornwall get the care they need.

We're looking for people who can donate an hour of their time this February and March to hand out the charity's iconic daffodil pin in return for donations.

Marie Curie Nurses provide free care to local people with a terminal illness in their own home, but to continue providing this vital care we need people to help make this year's Great Daffodil Appeal a success.

If you're able to donate an hour of your time to help someone in their final hours then please contact me on 01872 260 500 or visit http://www.mariecurie.org.uk/daffodil">www.mariecurie.org.uk/daffodil
