"I wrote 100 letters to my friend with cancer. It transformed our lives."
Manage episode 441092695 series 3505976
When Brian was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2010, his friend Alison offered to write letters to cheer him up. Over the next two years, as Brian’s cancer moved from stage III to IV, Alison’s letters kept on coming.
The letters became part of Brian’s recovery process, while Alison discovered a passion for writing she never knew existed.
Brian is now cancer-free, Alison is a writer, and the two have a relationship that only the term ‘best friends’ can describe. Alison and Brian are now dedicated to getting us all writing letters through their charity, https://www.frommetoyouletters.co.uk/about
