Music4Charity Raising Money For Marie Curie palliative care nurses

June 11, 2016 - PRLog -- Music4Charity is a new website raising money for Marie Curie, the charity which provides day and night care for people living with any terminal illness, so they can have the best possible quality of life for whatever time they have left, giving them medical and personal care, and support for their family, and often enabling them to spend their final days in their own home.

   The website at http://www.music4charity.weebly.com is an online music festival showcasing live performance videos from bands and singers, enabling music lovers to discover and watch artists of various genres perform, no matter where in the world they both are. Some of the videos are exclusive to the website, many are unplugged or acoustic performances, most are original songs, but there are also covers and tribute artists, and a Music Store of original music available on CD or as a Download.


  All music in the store has been donated by the artists and proceeds from sales of CDs or Downloads in the website Music Store are donated to Marie Curie.

  All the videos on the website at  have "tip jars" which link directly to our JustGiving page  at https://www.justgiving.com/music4charity   so each "tip" donation goes straight to Marie Curie.

   There is new music being added  to the website at http://www.music4charity.weebly.com almost daily and a few surprises being planned.

 Music4Charity was launched by Melanie Perrett who has many years experience in the music industry, and it is in memory of her husband Dave, to raise money for Marie Curie nurses, in appreciation of the care they gave him, following the heart-breaking and very unexpected diagnosis that he had a glioblastoma (one of the most aggressive brain tumours) in mid-January this year. He was fast-tracked home and despite a very brave fight, passed away at home on February 25^th.


   Melanie says "I would not have been able to care for him on my own, but having Dave at home was what we both wanted, and so important to us. The care team helped me care for him 24/7 and treated us both with such compassion, respect and dignity, during the most difficult and emotional time. The Marie Curie nurses always had a smile for us both, a hug for me when I needed it, and never left until they were sure Dave was comfortable and pain-free.  I will never forget their kindness, and wanted to give something back, to help raise money for them,  so other people can benefit from their care, and to help me through my grieving process, which is still obviously very raw. I didn't feel ready to organise a fund-raising gig or festival (as many of my music industry contacts suggested) but I came up with the idea of an online equivalent, so Music4Charity was born! I hope that we can raise as much as possible for Marie Curie and their very valued work"

   All publicity, exposure, donations and contributions of music would be very much appreciated
