Story

Hey guys,

On 14th May 2022 I am doing a charity skydive in honour of my sister Charlotte and to fundraise for the Lewis Foundation. 

My sister Charlotte sadly passed away in 2018 from cancer. During her time in hospital Charlotte had the support, help and encouragement from the Lewis Foundation - which made her journey that tiny bit better. The Lewis Foundation is an amazing charity made of of volunteers who source, package and deliver gifts whilst giving support to cancer patients in hospitals in the Midlands and the community weekly. These are items that patients might find difficult to buy themselves or simply cannot afford – and that brings people happiness and comfort at a difficult time. For many people in hospital and the community, our volunteers are their only regular visitors. They currently provide over 2500 gifts per month to 7 hospitals. People can pick a gift of their choice for free from our gift list.

My sister was so thankful for The Lewis Foundation during her cancer treatment and time in hospital.  And she was adamant that even after she had passed away that we continued to raise awareness and fundraiser for them. So if you could donate it would mean the world to us as it's a charity very close to our families hearts. And with our help you would be making someone else's cancer journey that little bit better. Thank you in advance!
