We provide professional emotional support to families facing the death of a parent.

Story

I became involved with the Ruth Strauss Foundation at Red for Ruth day at Lords in August 2022.  The charity touched me as I have had a few friends who have had cancer diagnosis and it scared me to think how would deal with bereavement if the worst happened.  RSF gave hope that if the worst did come along then there would be support.  I want everyone to be able to access that support. 

Thanks to the great partnership between RSF and Microsoft, I met Hugh Thompson and we came up with the idea for Microsoft Miles.  A way to bring together teams across Microsoft, Lenovo and special partners to raise money and celebrate at the end by watching some T20. 

PLEASE support our mission to raise £20k across all those participating in Microsoft Miles.

Here is the RSF mission:
