Hope for Tomorrow is a charity that provides a mobile chemotherapy service to people in a number of areas of the country.  In Lincolnshire it has a purpose-built vehicle that currently visits Skegness and Grantham (and hopefully in the future Louth and Spalding) and this means that patients do not have to travel to Lincoln (or in some cases Peterborough) for their treatment.

Dawn Ośko is the regional fundraiser for the charity and she gave a presentation to Rotarians outlining how the charity works.  At the end, she was presented with a cheque for £3,500 by President Walter as the charity was the local target for our main fundraising in the past year.

The vehicle is called Elaine who was a cancer patient who unfortunately lost her battle with cancer
