Sample postcard

 
A postcard from Menorca that reads "Hi  I wasn’t sure I could send you a holiday postcard but after both kids were sick on the plane (excitement), wet their beds last night (excitement) and woke me at 4am this morning all dressed for the beach..."

This summer we're asking you to #PopItOnAPostcard for someone who won't be going on holiday the year due to cancer treatment.

Many of us may think that sending a postcard from holiday is insensitive but those left at home unable to go away tell us that knowing someone is thinking of them brings a lot of comfort.

This summer we're going to give you some sample postcards to inspire you to write and post yours.

Hi

I wasn’t sure I could send you a holiday postcard but after both kids were sick on the plane (excitement), wet their beds last night (excitement) and woke me at 4am this morning all dressed for the beach (excitement), I’m more than happy to share my ‘holiday’ with you.

Thinking of you

xx

Watch out for more postcards in the coming weeks.

If you would like to donate a postcard to someone in hospital this summer, sign up to our Donate A Letter programme.
