WEEKLY NEWS FROM THE LEWIS FOUNDATION
RHYS MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
A huge thank you to Rhys (in the picture above), who has been a dedicated supporter of The Lewis Foundation for a number of years.
From giving talks about our work at his school and also in the community, to sourcing items for our gift packs and raising funds.
Rhys goes above and beyond to raise awareness and support for our cause.
What he is doing is really inspiring and all started after we provided a pack to his grandfather in hospital a number of years ago.
Rhys is currently leading various projects in aid of The Lewis Foundation, including collection drives for gift pack items and providing "bear hugs" (see in the picture)– messages of positivity that bring joy to patients. We're incredibly proud to have Rhys support and can't thank him enough for spreading kindness and joy to so many others.

This was a message we received from Savannah after we gave a gift pack to her nan in hospital.
This is how your donations & gifting your time contribute to making a difference in the lives of those diagnosed with cancer in hospital.
When you are in hospital small acts of kindness mean the world to the recipient.
They know they are cared about and someone took the time to think of them.
We love that The Lewis Foundation provides an opportunity to build a network of support to help others.
