As many will know, Sir Ranulph Fiennes is a staunch supporter of Marie Curie Cancer Care, following the death of his first wife. As a result, the organisers of the Chorleywood LitFest decided to make a donation to the charity to thank Sir Ranulph for attending the festival. In addition, two of the charity's nurses attended with an information stall, and collecting boxes were circulated amongst those attending.

We would like to give our thanks to all those who kindly donated a total of £419.83, in addition to the £500 donated from ticket sales.
