We're only a few boundaries away from reaching a very special century for The Ruth Strauss Foundation ...

Having lost my parents at a relatively young age, I understand just how important it is to receive emotional support during an incredibly difficult time.

It’s why Gary Tailby is supporting me in raising funds for The Ruth Strauss Foundation once again.

19 Not Out is the latest instalment of an event that has become a popular feature of the Midlands property calendar.

And here's what the event is all about:

In early 2018, Ruth Strauss, wife of Sir Andrew Strauss the former England cricket captain, was diagnosed with an incurable lung cancer that affects non-smokers. Ruth died on December 29th 2018; she was 46 years old and mother to two children, then aged 10 and 13.

The charity named in her honour helps raise awareness of the need for more research and collaboration in the fight against non-smoking lung cancers. And crucially, it assists families when they need it most, by providing professional emotional support to those facing the loss of a parent.

Your generous donations have helped us to raise more than £60,000 for the Foundation through our 'Not Out' event and we'd love to reach a century.

Thank you for your continued support.
