About A Gift to Lift
A Gift to Lift was created in 2014 by a local Leicestershire girl, Alex Hopwood, when she herself was battling blood cancer. She started making headbands from her hospital bed to pass the time; going on to sell them to raise money so she could gift a fellow patient a 'lift'. Sadly, Alex lost her battle, but during her last days she handpicked a team of people to carry on A Gift to Lift and continue what she had so selflessly started. Now, A Gift to Lift provides wishes to patients who are going through blood cancer treatment and donates to Blood Cancer UK, to enable research into the disease with the aim of hopefully one day, finding a cure.
