Hilly 100 · 7 September 2019

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

 Working in hospitals for the last 2 years Jane has seen how sadly alone many people are as they go through cancer treatment. Jane, her sister Alison & Mr Postbox, are joining forces with the breast cancer charity CoppaFeel to take part in the Hilly 100. From Me to You encourages people to write letters to friends suffering with cancer - keeping them connected at a time when they feel most disconnected. They also run a Donate A Letter campaign, sending anonymous letters to cancer patients in hospitals across the UK. Social isolation is often felt by cancer patients and something as simple as a letter can alleviate this. £5 buys a book of stamps, £10 buys a letter-writing kit posted out to anyone requesting one, £15 buys a place for someone to attend one of their workshops across the UK
