My Story
🎗️ What does MAD (Make and Donate) do?
Lesley founded MAD (Make and Donate) to give back to Peterborough City Hospital’s cancer units and bring comfort to those undergoing treatment. Her efforts include:
-
Organising community fundraising events
From pyjama parties and curry nights to bake sales and raffles, Lesley has brought people together to raise money and awareness for cancer care. -
Purchasing essential hospital equipment
Thanks to MAD’s fundraising, the hospital has received items such as reclining chairs for families, fridges for patient rooms, syringe drivers, drip stands, microwave and drug trolleys—improving the experience for both patients and staff. Latest project was the relatives room on the oncology ward... -
Creating care bags for chemotherapy patients
Lesley assembles thoughtful “care packs” filled with essentials like lip balm, hand gel, tissues, sweets, heat packs, puzzle books, and a handwritten letter of encouragement. These personal touches offer comfort during a difficult time.
