Ruth Strauss Foundation

Charity

We believe any parent with an incurable cancer diagnosis should have access to support and guidance to help them talk to their children about their diagnosis. By encouraging families to maintain an open and honest dialogue, children will be able to continue to make the most of their time left with the parent, maintaining hope for the future, without internalising questions, worries or fears.​
