A Gift To Lift was set up by Alex Hopwood in 2014. Alex set up the charity whilst going through harsh treatment for Leukaemia. She started by creating Jewellery and headbands that could be sold as gifts to help provide other patients with a little lift. Also the money raised from the sales of these handmade products went towards giving wishes to blood cancer patients. Alex received chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and two bone marrow transplants, but Alex unfortunately lost her battle on December 15th 2014. Alex assigned close friends and family to carry out the roles of trustees of the charity, and so today A Gift To Lift continues to raise money to support blood cancer patients, donate towards blood cancer research, and to work towards Alex's dream of buying a holiday home in Norfolk for blood cancer patients to spend quality time with their loved ones.
Myself and four friends Amy , Colin , Rob and Mark are cycling from Hinckley to Brighton for this amazing charity set up by a brave and inspirational young lady . Our journey will begin in Hinckley on the 27th August and end in Brighton on the 28th August . We are hoping to raise as much as we can to help the charity continued to grow and archive the holiday home Alex wanted
