Linlithgow garden party raises thousands for Marie Curie

Pamela faced her illness with great courage and strength and carried on working for the NHS, when her treatment allowed, only retiring last summer after 35 years of service.

To mark her passing, Pamela’s friends wanted to do something in her memory.

They raised just over £3000, and donations can still be made online at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/friendsofpamela.
