Letters for Cancer
Campaign by From Me To You (RCN 1183413)
From Me to You tackles the isolation and loneliness so often experienced by those living with cancer as friends don't know what to say or how to say it. We help people connect.

Story

Jarrovian Wealth chose 'From Me To You' as their chosen charity for 2019. Throughout the year we have been running a 'Donate a letter' campaign with our clients and helping them raise their profile and network through our company and the institutions that we work with.

In 2016, after a long two and half year battle with terminal cancer she sadly lost her courageous fight. For myself and my family we were touched by the letters that she received throughout her illness and also those which we have received since she passed. It is a reminder to me of how amazing she was and the impact that she has had not only on my life but on the lives of those who had the privilege to know her.

Receiving letters has an everlasting impact not only for the individual directly suffering with cancer but also their families; and it is for this reason I am supporting From Me To You. Every year From Me to You send over 2,000 letters to cancer patients in hospitals, run workshops to help people write letters to friends and family suffering with cancer to stay connected and give out 100's of letter-writing kits. A free place on a workshop costs them £15, a letter-writing kit £10 and a book of 12 stamps £7. This fundraising will help them to continue their work to tackle the social isolation so often experienced by cancer patients.

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.
