How we will Support you
We successfully completed a 19 mile fundraiser walk with over thirty like minded supporters starting from University College London Hospital (UCLH) main entrance on Euston Road to London Road Cemetery and raised funds to support teenagers (16-19) diagnosed with cancer or any terminal illness.
Held five seminars on cancer awareness and building positive mental health at three local schools (Parmiters secondary school, Dame Alice Owens secondary school and Bowmansgreen primary school). .
Supplied the oncology ward at Barnet Hospital with overnight toilet bags for in patients including costa vouchers for comfort beverages and snacks.
Been officially selected by the University of Kent cricket team as one of the charities they will support with KDM getting a share of their fundraising.
Distributed packs of afternoon tea to in patients and staff at the Teenage cancer ward of the university college London hospital and the Macmillan cancer centre London as a treat and also as a way of saying thanks for caring for Kene and to mark the one-year anniversary of Kene’s passing .
St. Peters Church in London-Colney have named its Church hall “The Kene Madueke Hall” in honour of Kene and his servitude at Church where he not only worshiped but carried out other roles culminating in becoming a sound technician. Such a beautiful gesture to a young man who devoted his time to not only worshiping but serving God.
A fantastic tribute to Kene and his foundation was done by the Watford Observer.
