Marie Curie Cancer Care provides high quality nursing, totally free, to give terminally ill people the choice of dying at home supported by their families.

This is happening this weekend folks!

We'd love to see as many people there as possible. Whether you fancy taking a lesson for an hour or just coming down to have a dance we'd welcome your support with this event. You don't have to get sponsored, why not try something new and pop down for a lesson.

Where else do you get to have quality lessons with experts, hear some great salsa tunes and give money to terminally ill people across the region.

There's also chance to win a slap up meal and two tickets to a fantastic performance of Buena Vista Social Club at Sheffield City Hall in our raffle!

I'm also looking for some volunteers to help register participants and sell raffle tickets on the day. Two people I had lined up to help had to drop out last minute.

If you can spare any time at all between 12pm - 9pm please call the fundraising office on 0114 2793010.

Thanks.
