About the charity : Royal Marsden Cancer Campaign Royal Marsden Cancer Campaign
At the Royal Marsden, we're not afraid of cancer. We learn about it, talk about and most of all, use cutting-edge techniques to treat it. We're doing everything we can to help improve our patients' survival rates - whether it's new drug therapies, or better equipment or facilities. But researching and treating cancer is a lifetime's work. And that's why we need your help. A gift to the Royal Marsden will go to work immediately, helping the 40,000 people who come to us every year. Simply donate today and we'll do the rest.

Personal message:

This is a picture of Olivia Legg, just before she had major brain surgery in December 2007. She is 5 years old. Olivia has a brain tumour in her brain stem - about the most dangerous place to have one. She has recently started an 18 month course of chemotherapy at The Royal Marsden Hospital. Hearing the (extremely surprising) news about Olivia's brain tumour was devastating for us all. Although she will probably survive, her treatment will lead to illness, weakness, hair loss, missed school and fevers. However, Olivia is lucky compared to many - she was diagnosed early, the tumour is benign (slow growing) and she has amazing support. Hopefully, in 18 months, we will be able to declare her OK ....

Not everyone is so lucky. Many children in very similar situations suffer horribly, and a significant proportion die. The Royal Marsden is the UK's leading cancer research and treatment hospital. Your donation will support research, plus improved treatment facilities for thousands of people. When she was in hospital, Olivia never felt sorry for herself - she was more worried about the other children. If she can be so positive, then so must us adults ....

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to give on Olivia's behalf. The Royal Marsden Cancer Campaign will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Please sponsor Olivia now.

Heartfelt thanks for your support.
