Chris Pointon talks about the worldwide social media campaign “hello my name is”
Hello, my name is Chris Pointon and I am the husband of the late Dr Kate Granger MBE who was a doctor and patient. My wife died last year aged just 34 after 5 years living with a terminal cancer diagnosis. Throughout that time we raised over £250,000 for charity and changed global healthcare through a simple campaign entitled #hellomynameis. Following Kate’s death I continue to promote the campaign through various conferences across the globe and worldwide awareness on social media. Her name lives on through a variety of awards named after her which I will continue to be involved with for years to come.
