May 2018 Client Spotlight – Kate Hollis

Client Spotlight – Kate Hollis

As you know we have a multitude of wonderful people who visit our clinic. In this section we interview a regular client of TMC to find out a little more about them.

Kate Hollis and her husband Chris run a children’s charity in memory of their son Tommy who tragically lost his life just one day before his first birthday.

Tommy lost his life in 2010 when a lamp post landed on his pram outside Chiswick Town Hall. The Hollis family turned their loss into a positive cause of giving, by raising funds for under-privileged, sick and orphaned children. Tommy brought joy to all who encountered him in his short life and the Tommy Hollis Fund continues this spirit by raising money for several worthy children’s charities.
