Raising money for

Barts and The London Charity

Charity Registration No. 212563

We are the independent registered charity for the three hospitals of Barts and The London NHS Trust – Barts in the City (Britain’s oldest hospital, founded 1123), The Royal London, in Whitechapel, (founded 1740) and The London Chest, in Bethnal Green (founded 1848) - and their excellent schools of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing. Charitable giving by patients, local communities and businesses has always played and will continue to play a vital role in our hospitals. Their support helps provide state of the art facilities and equipment; supports cutting-edge research and innovations in treatments and ensures the best possible standards for our patients, staff and local communities. The hospitals still rely on the generosity of donors and volunteering from people in our diverse local communities and from those further afield. The Charity’s vital work cannot continue without the help of people like you.

My story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page! We've been training all 6 of our chicken legs for the 26.2 miles of road that lie ahead.

We are running for a special fund set up within Barts & The London Charity. Leona's husband Tom was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in late 2007 and underwent chemotherapy in 2008. Having recovered, Tom established a fund to raise money for specific cancer research at St Barts hospital. The research is focused on the use of immunotherapy as a treatment for cancer - a potentially groundbreaking method of cancer treatment that employs the body's own immune system to fight the cancer, instead of using the traditional route of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The fund is already being used to pay for a specialist 3 year research post.

Donating through Justgiving is totally secure and also the most efficient way to sponsor us: if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. The money goes to the Barts and The London Charity but will be specifically set aside for the immunotherapy research project.

Many thanks for your help.
