Helping people live fuller lives during chemotherapy

Enjoying life, not simply surviving it – one coffee, one day out, one shared memory at a time.

What “Living Like Linda” means

Facing regular, and sometimes brutal, chemotherapy with a positive attitude – and trying to carry on living a normal life.

For many, that isn't possible because of financial, transport, access and loneliness barriers. For some it may mean never realising a dream or an unfulfilled ambition. Living Like Linda helps people overcome those barriers and achieve those dreams and ambitions.

Having chemotherapy? How we can help you

How we help

From the simple to the sublime

Memorable experiences
From a walk around a lake to a day at the races, a concert or a theatre trip – days that patients and loved ones remember all their lives.
Social connection
Coffee get-togethers and group gatherings that bring people together in a common cause, so nobody faces treatment alone.
Removing practical barriers
Transport solutions, group bookings and specially designated areas, so money, travel and access aren't what stand in the way.

Linda's story

Marathons, Kilimanjaro – and a chance meeting in the chemo unit

After 50 years of work and hundreds of thousands of pounds raised for charity, Linda was training to swim the English Channel when an incurable ovarian cancer diagnosis arrived in April 2021. She stayed determined to live life to the full. A conversation with a young fellow patient sparked this charity.
