The Lewis Hamilton Foundation has made a donation of £8,000 to our children’s service.
The substantial donation was raised at the annual Festival of Speed at Goodwood last year and will
support our ‘Tots and Toys’ group - for parents and their children under 5 with various life-limiting conditions. The group runs every week and provides stimulating activities including music therapy, baby massage, arts and crafts and sessions in Keech’s specialist hydrotherapy pool.
The Foundation chose to support the children’s hospice because of its close proximity to where Lewis grew up in Stevenage, as well as Chestnut Tree House, which is a children’s hospice located nearby Goodwood.
Lewis said: “I’ve met many children whose spirit and optimism in the face of overwhelming difficulties has been truly humbling and inspirational to me. Through the work of the Foundation, we’ve been able to help those children who are perhaps less fortunate than others, and to provide them with the funds, facilities and care that they need.
“Helping the Keech Hospice is particularly close to my heart as it’s located very close to where I grew up in Stevenage, and it has really brought home to me the work and efforts of everybody involved.
“Through the work of the Lewis Hamilton Foundation, I’m able to achieve far more than I ever could as an individual, and I’m really proud of the help that we’ve been able to provide here.”
