Co Fermanagh man David Brown has more than one reason for supporting the work of Marie Curie, the leading end of life care provider.
The new president of the Ulster Farmers Union has long been an admirer of the caring service that Marie Curie provides throughout Northern Ireland but he has another good reason much closer to home.
Mary, his wife of 30 years, has been working for Marie Curie as a community nurse for the last three years, visiting homes in the west of the province and providing end of life care for people with terminal illness.
