In July 2022 our amazing team will be cycling from London to Paris to raise vital funds for the Ella Dawson Foundation and we would be so grateful for your support.
The Ella Dawson Foundation was established in 2022 as a legacy Ella Dawson, a truly inspirational human being, who sadly left us in July 2021 after 2 years of treatment for a rare and aggressive form of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
Ella just loved life and she was determined she would never be defined by cancer. In line with latest research, Ella recognised right from the start of her cancer journey that good emotional, physical, nutrional and wellbeing support could provide huge positive benefits through and beyond a cancer diagnosis but found that such support is currently limited for young adults with cancer in the UK.
So, Ella set about creating a wellbeing blueprint to help others in a similar situation to herself.
Despite constant gruelling treatment over 2 years, months in hospital isolation, several relapses and an ultimately terminal prognosis, Ella's incredible philosophy on life allowed her to live well, to live with positivity and great purpose and to help others despite all she was going through. She is an incredible inspiration.
In Ella's own words I just want to show that all is not lost when you are a young adult with cancer. I want to put out there something that I am missing
The Ella Dawson Foundation is a new charity with a big heart and an even bigger ambition, and we are determined and passionate to be a force for good by providing much needed psychological, physical, nutritional and wellbeing support for young adults with cancer and their families.
Paris was Ella's favourite city in the world and I'm honoured to be cycling to Paris in July with Connor, Ella's partner and her and our amazing friends and would be so very grateful for your support with jane and Tasha providing support in the back up vehicle
