From Me To You

In 2010 Alison Hitchcock made an unusual offer to an acquaintance Brian Greenley who had been diagnosed with cancer - she offered to write letters to cheer him up while he was undergoing treatment. She had no idea what possessed her - she barely knew Brian and didn't imagine there was much humour to be had in cancer. But two and a half years later Brian had defied the statistics and was cancer free Alison had embarked on a writing career inspired by her letters and they had become best friends. While the letters were only ever meant to amuse Brian and his journal entries were only ever for himself together they tell their story of friendship following a passion battling to stay alive and above all seeing the funny side. From Me To You is their bitter-sweet story told through Alison's letters and Brian's journal entries.
