Dorking Cricket Club are delighted to be supporting the Ruth Strauss Foundation this Summer and will be turning DCC Red to raise vital funds for this important charity.

About the Ruth Strauss Foundation:

Early 2018, Ruth Strauss, 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 emotional support for families to prepare for the death of a parent

Raise awareness of the need for more research & collaboration in the fight against non-smoking lung cancers.

What we at DCC aim to do:

We will be turning Dorking Cricket Club 'Red for Ruth' over the weekend 12-14th July. We will be hosting a charity evening on the Friday for the Junior section and running a retro 'red' sports day for our adult members on the Saturday.
