Alison Hitchcock and Brian Greenley come to Caf茅 Hope and tell Rachel Burden how writing letters to strangers with cancer forms a connection and helps reduces isolation.
Rachel Burden hears from Alison Hitchcock and Brian Greenley, who started From Me to You, where people write letters to strangers with cancer to try to reduce the loneliness associated with the disease.
The idea came from when Brian was diagnosed with bowel cancer and Alison started writing to him to try to cheer him up during his treatment. They say that receiving a letter, even from someone you don鈥檛 know, can form a connection and bring comfort in a worrying time.
Caf茅 Hope is our virtual Radio 4 coffee shop, where guests pop in for a brew and a chat to tell Rachel Burden what they鈥檙e doing to make things better in big and small ways. You can contact us on cafehope@bbc.co.uk
