Ruth Strauss Foundation upcoming events in the Michaelmas Term!

Early 2018, Ruth Strauss, wife of Sir Andrew Strauss the former England cricket captain, was diagnosed with an incurable lung cancer that affects non-smokers.  Ruth died on December 29th, 2018; she was 46 years old and mother to two children, then aged 10 and 13.

In Ruth’s memory, Sir Andrew has launched the Ruth Strauss Foundation (RSF) to:

Provide emotional support for families to prepare for the death of a parent

Raise awareness of the need for more research & collaboration in the fight against non-smoking lung cancers.

Two events are being held in the Michaelmas Term to help fundraise for this Foundation which may be of interest to you: a Golf Day and Long Room Dinner at Lord’s.
