Peter Sara
Peter Sara is the Community Fundraiser for Marie Curie in Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire. Marie Curie provides care and support for people living with any terminal illness, and their families in their own homes and in our hospices.
Peter intends to speak about the variety of services that Marie Curie provides, the interesting research taking place in Cambridge and how the rotary could help with fundraising in the future.
Peter will also talk about our national campaigns including the Great Daffodil Appeal, Blooming Great Tea Party and Swimathon.
