ThirdSector: "Fundraising News: Why I Give - Carl Palmer
Carl Palmer is a retired schoolteacher and was named Volunteer Fundraiser of the Year in July, in recognition of his 12 years' support for Marie Curie Cancer Care in Wales.
How did you become involved with Marie Curie Cancer Care? After my wife died from cancer at the Marie Curie Hospice in Penarth in 1992, I felt very demoralised and quit my job as a schoolteacher. I started gravitating towards the Holme Tower Marie Curie Centre, which I used to go to when my wife was being cared for. Everything there was familiar to me and I wanted to go back, so I decided to volunteer as a receptionist and later become involved in fundraising.
