A PROFESSIONAL boxer is speeding towards his fundraising target to pay back the Myton Hospices for caring for his dad.
Lewis Williams, a Myton Volunteer Ambassador, whose dad was cared for by the Myton at Home team in 2024, has pledged to raise £1 million over the course of his career.
His first campaign, ’20 in 25’, aims to raise £20,000 in just one year – and he has just received £!,750 from Lexus UK’s Toyota Community Fund to help him hit his target.
Since April, Lewis, from Leamington, has raised £5,675 for Myton, achieving this through his own fundraising challenges and the generosity of his community supporters.
He said:“I am so grateful to Lexus for their generosity and for backing my campaign to raise vital funds for The Myton Hospices. The team at Lexus heard about my campaign during my last show and it’s fantastic that we’re spreading the message far and wide. My family and I were fortunate to experience the very best of what Myton offers our community, and with the support of organisations like Lexus, we can help ensure more families receive that same care when they need it most.”
Devinderpal Johal, from Lexus UK, continued: “We are proud to support The Myton Hospices and the work that Lewis has done to engage with his community in raising much needed funds for a cause very close to him. The hospice provides essential care and support to those that need it.”
Myton spokesperson Jason Levy added: “We are incredibly thankful to Lewis for his dedication to fundraising and to Lexus for their generous support. It is only thanks to the commitment of people like Lewis and the generosity of organisations in our community that we can continue to provide our vital services to patients and their families.”
