I will be running the Kettering Half Marathon this year on 9th March, to raise money for the Lewis Foundation (support for Cancer patients).

The Lewis Foundation source, package and hand deliver free gifts and support packs to adult cancer patients in hospital every week – items they might find difficult to buy themselves or simply cannot afford. It can be a sad, frightening and lonely experience for individuals undergoing cancer treatment, and for many people in hospital, our volunteers are their only regular visitors.

They support the following hospitals:

Northampton General Hospital

BMI Three Shires Northampton

Kettering General Hospital

Bedford Hospital

Milton Keynes University Hospital

Leicester Hospital

Luton & Dunstable Hospital

Lincolnshire Hospitals

Nottinghamshire Hospitals

Chesterfield Hospitals

Cambridgeshire Hospitals

How it works in the hospital, is that patients pick a gift pack of their choice from the gift trolley and there are 29 different packs to pick from. Packs range from toiletries, puzzle books and miniature radios. Once the gift is received, we then spend time with people to reduce loneliness.

One gift costs £3.60, the price of a coffee.

The Lewis Foundation rely on donations, fundraising support and volunteers to make a difference.
