Female Entrepreneurs Lean In - Christmas Raffle

Female Entrepreneurs Lean In is raising money for Cancer Fund for Children

Female Entrepreneurs Lean In — Christmas Raffle · 2 December 2020

We support children impacted by cancer to help the families through their journey

Story

We’re excited to raffle a fantastic selection of luxury local products from our Female Entrepreneurs here in Northern Ireland!

Lisa has helped grow Lean In into the supportive and innovative network it is in Northern Ireland. She was the Chair of Lean In Belfast for the last 2 years and has helped many women in NI grow their businesses.

After careful consideration, it's for these reasons that our fundraiser this year will go to our chosen charity, Cancer Fund for Children! We're raffling a hamper filled with luxurious goodies kindly donated by fabulous local women-owned businesses to support this vital charity.

Her husband John was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in December 2017 and sadly John passed away this past October with his family by his side. 


From Lisa: 

"I discovered Cancer Fund for Children when I was looking for some support for our youngest daughter. I was trying to find other young people who were going through something similar. John and I had discovered that as parents of teenagers, we were often saying or doing the ‘wrong thing’, according to our children, in spite of our best efforts. 

From the first moment I talked to our Cancer Fund for Children Specialist, Gareth, I felt such a sense of relief. Gareth completely gets young people. He’s on their wavelength. He has such a depth of knowledge, of resources and experience to draw upon. And, on the flip side, he recognises the concerns parents have navigating these uncertain waters. 

But, on Monday 26th October 2020, our lives changed forever. Our hearts were broken when John passed away. As my children approach their first Christmas without their dad, I am so thankful for the continued support of Cancer Fund for Children. 

That’s why I’m asking you to please donate what you can today to help support other children and young people whose lives have been devastated by cancer."
