Donate to Support Families Facing an Incurable Cancer Diagnosis

RUTH STRAUSS FOUNDATION NOW PART OF MAGGIE'S

The Ruth Strauss Foundation has merged with Maggie's.

By bringing together Maggie's nationwide centres and RSF’s virtual family support and training programmes, more people impacted by cancer and their families will be able to access the support they need.

The Foundation's work remains firmly rooted in Ruth's legacy and its mission to support families facing incurable cancer.

Funds raised during #RedforRuth will continue to support RSFs programmes for families facing incurable cancer.

Sam, Matt, Josh and Poppy's story

Matt was diagnosed with brain cancer in March 2018, having lost his peripheral vision whilst on a dog walk. At the time Matt was 43, very fit, healthy and had never smoked. His diagnosis came as a total shock.

The Ruth Strauss Foundation provided Sam and Matt with vital support, offering guidance on how to best inform their children of their dad’s incurable illness, what potential questions to expect from them, changes in behaviour to look out for and the importance of involving their schools.
