GO ON A JOURNEY WITH THIS INCREDIBLE MEMOIR
Lorraine Lewis grew up as part of a small family, always encouraged to follow her dreams. For her, this dream was a career in law.
Certainly, this was not a common path for a black woman to take. She was constantly reminded of this at every turn, and most worryingly, this negativity often came from people in positions of authority and guidance. Despite the challenges, she was able to overcome the challenges and qualify as a barrister at the age of 21.
It was a couple of months after getting married at age 25 that Lorraine’s life would change forever; the shock of her mother-in-law receiving a cancer diagnosis, and the loss of her father-in-law, was incredibly hard to process for someone with no experience of death.
Experiencing the trials of cancer treatment as a close family member led Lorraine and her husband Lee to decide to do something to make that journey easier. The Lewis Foundation was created, despite their lack of knowledge and experience, and was brought to life thanks to the kindness of friends and family giving their time to help bring this dream to life. Five years and thousands of people supported later, this is the story of how that dream became a reality.
"This is a wonderful book that tells the story of how Lorraine and her partner Lee established and run their charity The Lewis Foundation UK . Ever wondered just what it takes? The joys, the tears, the learning and the hours given selflessly to support others. Well this book is a must read for anyone who has a curiosity about the sector and to get ideas about how to change lives, including your own for the better."

"Couldn't put this down. Such an amazing, inspirational lady who has overcome every difficult challenge she has faced with love and support from her equally inspirational husband and family. So many achievements, including the creation of the brilliant Lewis Foundation, which I have experienced first hand. Would thoroughly recommend this book"
Fantastic Read!
"This book was amazing, to read the story behind The Lewis Foundation set up and Lorraine's own personal journey which inspires other young women to follow their dreams. Having met Lorraine and Lee last year in person at a local karting event, it was great to read what led up to an amazing charity that they've founded. This is such a fantastic charity which needs all the support it can get."
