The Lewis foundation is a local charity that helps cancer patients and most importantly their wellbeing. As most of you know this is very important to me with the cancer patients I look after and something I value highly. Having had the pleasure of meeting and working alongside at time Lorraine, Lee and their fantastic team, I am keen to help give back to the amazing things that I witness them do with some of my patients.

As most of you will know, this is a tricky one for me as I am very clumsy and un-co-ordinated, so wish me luck. &someone please meet me at the bottom with a bit of birthday cake! (Do you think they will let me take a cup of tea down with me:)? )

The Lewis Foundation Story: Lorraine and Lee Lewis were so moved when Lee’s mum was hospitalised with cancer that it led them to set up a charity.

Recognising the fear, upset and loneliness faced by individuals undergoing cancer treatment and their loved ones, the duo were determined that their charity would make a real difference. They set about sourcing donations, packaging and delivering gifts, whilst giving support to patients on oncology wards. That was April 2016, when The Lewis Foundation was born.

Today, the team has almost 50 volunteers and hundreds of regular supporters. The Lewis Foundation has gone from delivering 80 gift packs a month to one hospital, to delivering over 2,500 gifts to fourteen hospitals in the Midlands every month.

Please donate if you can.

Thanks
