My name is Sarah Dowson and I'm currently working at NDDH as a Reiki therapist in cancer services providing Reiki for patients, families and staff caring for them whilst undergoing chemotherapy or during an inpatient stay. I have also been a  Registered nurse for 20 years and worked within cancer services for a large percentage of this time. When I first heard Lisa talk about chemohero a few years ago now,  her passion and honesty stuck with me.  I see the patients faces light up when they are given their box of kindness and I am very excited to be involved with this fabulous charity.

Trustee

Heidi works for Nike, with experience in business and team management. Her passion for ChemoHero began 3 years ago after listening to a presentation from Lisa and being inspired by the charity’s work. Heidi has since enjoyed supporting the charity and volunteering at various events and is incredibly honoured and excited to be joining the trustee team.
