About us
Who we are
In early 2018, Ruth Strauss, the wife of Sir Andrew Strauss the former England cricket captain, was diagnosed with an incurable lung cancer that affects non-smokers. Ruth died on December 29th, 2018; she was 46 years old and mother to two children, then aged 10 and 13.
In her memory, Sir Andrew has launched The Ruth Strauss Foundation to:
-
Provide professional emotional support for families when a child is facing the death of a parent.
-
Facilitate collaboration and influence research in the fight against non-smoking lung cancers.
