LOROS are delighted to announce that Julia Bradbury has kindly agreed to be a Patron of LOROS.
Julia is best known as a TV presenter of programmes such as ‘Countryfile’, ‘Watchdog’ and most recently ‘Planet Earth Live’. ‘Wainwright Walks’ saw her walking in the footsteps of the famous fell-walker and guide writer Alfred Wainwright, followed by the 192 mile journey across the UK in the series ‘Wainwright Walks: Coast to Coast’. All these activities helped to see Julia recognised as 2010’s ‘Travel Personality of the Year’ and more recently winner of the National Trust's Octavia Hill People's Award given to those in the public eye who have raised the profile and importance of the green outdoors for wildlife and our general wellbeing, through writing, and TV work.
Diane Morris, Fundraising Manager for LOROS said; “LOROS is extremely honoured that someone in the public eye and as well respected as Julia has agreed to become a LOROS Patron. As Julia still has roots in Rutland and an affinity with cancer related charities, she is a perfect representative for LOROS and will help greatly to raise awareness of the wide range of care services we provide and to boost our fundraising missions. ”
Julia Bradbury said; “Being local to Leicestershire and Rutland, I am thrilled to become a LOROS Patron. Having had personal experience of cancer within my family, any difference I can make to the marvellous work LOROS does for the 2,500 local patients and their families LOROS supports each year, is indeed a great privilege. I look forward to helping whenever I can. ”
