Land End to John O'Groats Cycle

Organised by From Me To You

Our co-founder Alison & cycling pal Siobhan are attempting the epic Lands End to John O'Groats cycle this September. Over 21 days they'll cycle 1,000+ miles with more uphills than they care to think about. And don't even mention sore bottoms...

Cancer patients often feel socially isolated as friends drift away unsure of what to say. Letters are a wonderful way to keep people connected at a time when they feel most disconnected. Our events help people to find the courage to write, either to friends or for our Donate A Letter campaign.

Story

Every year From Me to You sends thousands of handwritten cards and letters to people fighting cancer - connecting them to a world outside of their cancer battle and showing them that they are not alone.

We also encourage people to write to loved ones, colleagues or friends who are fighting the disease - helping those vital lines of communication stay open at a time when people often struggle to know what to do.

Every year our Donate A Letter programme sees an increase in requests for our letters, showing the ongoing need to connect with cancer sufferers. We are only able to continue our work thanks to the generosity of our donors - financial donors and letter writers who donate their time.

£5 funds stamps for letters to a cancer patient for 6 months – helping them to feel less alone.

£25 pays for 250 posters and leaflets to be distributed across the UK – reaching patients who don’t yet know we exist.

£120 enables us to supply one of our outlets with letters for their cancer patients for a year – offering them a much-needed distraction from treatment.

The impact the letters and cards make to our recipients is huge - from bringing a glimmer of joy to a tough day, to being a lifeline to someone who is feeling less and less connected to the outside world.

Thank you for ensuring no-one is alone with cancer.
