Raising money for

King’s College Hospital Charity

Charity Registration No. 230729

King's College Hospital is a large London teaching hospital but also a major centre of clinical and academic excellence, offering a number of specialist services. We are unusual in being a hospital closely integrated with its local community. To ensure we are ready to take advantage of any new developments King's has embarked on a project to raise funds towards creating a modern, state of the art environment which will support and reflect our programme of innovation over the next five years. Last year King's treated over 246,000 patients not only from within the UK but also from abroad.

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
Madness has taken over and I'm bound for Tanzania to tackle that small mound known as Kilimanjaro. As this is a challenge in itself I got to thinking what could I do to make it even more amazing?
Yes, do it for charity!
A good friend and colleague has a rare form of terminal cancer known as Carcinoid Cancer (Neuroendocrine tumours - NETs) which requires a range of different treatments - most of them involving big needles! Another 'favourite' is being locked in a lead lined room for up to 7 days after she has been given radionuclide therapy. Having visited her during several treatment cycles it is clear that this lonely little room needs more than a sixty minute makeover!
My aim is to raise as much money as I can for the Carcinoid Cancer Charity based at Kings College Hospital. By doing this I hope to raise awareness, progress research, support others who are suffering from this 'quiet cancer' and possibly to cheer up this dismal room!
Visit www.netpatientfoundation.org to find out more about this type of cancer.
