This month - Marie Curie's celebrity backing blooms

An array of well known faces have come together to support Marie Curie's Great Daffodil Appeal this year

Great Daffodil Appeal Stephen Fry, Tony Blackburn, Lynda Bellingham, Jon Culshaw, Alison Steadman, and Sir Ranulph Fiennes are among the stars who feature in this short video calling on people to volunteer to raise funds to provide nursing care for terminally ill people in their own homes. It has been made by Marie Curie to help recruit 20,000 volunteer collectors for its 2010 Great Daffodil Appeal.

Actor Stephen Mangan, who also features in the video, has personal reasons for supporting the Great Daffodil Appeal. Both his parents died from cancer and were cared for at home by Marie Curie Nurses, his story can be read in the March issue of Candis magazine.

Candis has donated over £5 million to Marie Curie since 1998 and will donate a further £250,000 to the charity in 2010.
