Many of us know him as the six-time formula one world champion, Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton has gone on to be the world’s greatest and highly esteemed drivers in the history of the sport. He was born on 7th January 1985 in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England. He was raised as Roman Catholic by his parents, Carmen, and Anthony.
He lived with his mother until the age of twelve, then moved to live with his father. His relationship with his father then bloomed his love for racing, a gift of a radio-controlled car was his first taste into the world of racing. It was when Hamilton was 6 years old that his father bought him a go-kart for Christmas in which a promise had been made between the father-son duo; he would continue to support young Lewis with his racing career as long as he continued to work hard in school. And support he did, his father left his job as an information technology manager and became a contractor, he would sometimes work three jobs at a time whilst never failing to attend all of young Lewis’ races.
In 1993, Hamilton began his go-karting career at only eight years of age. At the Rye House Kart Circuit his performance increased exponentially, and he started to win races as well as class championships. A 10-year-old Lewis Hamilton approached Ron Dennis, boss of formula one team asking for an autograph when he said that “one day, I want to be racing your cars” to which Dennis wrote back, “Phone me in nine years, we’ll sort something out then”.
Hamilton drove for the Martin Hines’s Zip Young Guns Karting Team. He progressed and by the time he had turned 12 years old, his performance had improved enough for famous betting and gambling company Ladbrokes Coral in London to take a bet that he would win a Formula One Grand Prix before the age of 23. Another predicted that he would win the World Drivers’ Championship before he was 25. He worked up to the Junior Yamaha in 1997, a year later, Ron Dennis got in touch with Hamilton after he won the Super One series and his second British Championship. Dennis came through with his promise and signed Hamilton up for the McLaren driver development programme. An option of a future Formula One Seat was part of the contract, making Hamilton one of the youngest drivers to secure a contract which would then result in a Formula One Drive.

Recently I had a paradigm shift with my mindset and I started my own brand Sun Sea and Sand by Milan which represents the joie de vivre (joy of living) a Caribbean lifestyle. I would like you to take a look via my website which I provided.
Also, is it possible that I could forward a design for you to print on a tee-shirt and wear for one of your race days before the 2022 F1 season ends? I have seen you do collaborations with high profile designers and I would be honored if you do this with my brand especially since you are the ultimate goat of F1 and you have Caribbean (Grenadian) roots. The design is quite suitable as it represents all the race track locations. By the way I am from T&T.
I look forward to receiving a response from you or your management team.
All the best for the rest of the F1 season.
We Win and We Lose Together.

Dear Sir,
RE: REQUEST FOR FUNDING FOR ECSF PROGRAM

Mr. Fredrick Mativo, who was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma cancer in 2001, founded
ECSF. The doctors gave him two and a half years to live. Even though his diagnosis and treatment Periods have presented difficult times to him and his family, they chose to adopt a new way of living by focussing on cancer fighting nutrition, joining support groups and trying to live a positive life. 20 years later, Mr. Mativo enjoys a full life.
ECSF mission therefore is to
advocate for attitude and behaviour change through education while providing an
environment for peer-to-peer sharing and learning for patients, families and caregivers.
The programs are centred around developing a comprehensive cancer prevention and care
services benefiting communities through initiatives such as Simple Nutrition (changing
lifestyle),Counselling, Physiotherapy and massage, telephone helpline and support group

survivors.

from well-wishers. Our aim is to reach everyone who needs this service by scaling the
program to cover more counties in Kenya. We are therefore seeking support and
partnerships from like minded parties to help us realize this goal. Our estimated budget for

Hi, I am writing on behalf of a group of friends who have set up a “positive ” group for another friend. We were all recently reunited and was told about the very sad news of one friend, Julie and her amazing son Louie who was diagnosed with a rare, incurable form of cancer, neuroblastoma. Louie is 15 and a huge fan of Lewis. I have attached some pics of him at the races in the Algarve early this month. Even though he is extremely poorly and in a lot of pain, they visited and stood and stayed right until the end, they were even captured by sky sports.
As I mentioned, Louie is a huge fan and I wondered if there is anything that can be done or sent to help him through his gruelling treatments.He recently, yesterday lost all feeling in his legs and feet due to a new tumour on his spine. He and his mum are currently in Lisbon undergoing more evasive treatments. It would really help him through this and hopefully bring a big smile to his face!
He is a very brave boy and his mum always says he doesn’t complain and just takes it in his stride. We all think the family are amazing and strong! We have set up a group where we send gifts and cards etc to lift them but something from Lewis would be incredible.
I do hope you can help and I look forward to your reply,
Regards, Rebecca.
