Cancer sucks! It has affected us like it has probably affected you. In some way it affects us all.

We are eight lifelong friends who have decided we want to do something meaningful to help. We are going to be taking on fundraising activity in the coming months to buy some vital equipment for the Royal Marsden.

Its ambitious but we would like to help purchase or put money toward;

1. Brachytherapy Utrecht Applicator Sets (x2)  £32,380 -  (an essential component of the definitive treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer)
2. Bracytherapy Gynae Planning System and Stepper £34,777 (another indispensable part for radiation therapy)
3. An Image Intensifier for the Radiology Theatre £86,000 (improves identification and treatment of tumours)

Whatever we raise, we know it will be put to good use!

First up we will be attempting the 3 Peaks Challenge to try and raise some money but we need more, so much more! 

You can help - While we go hiking for 24 hours on a Friday night, we are asking you to stay in and donate the money you save, by not going out, to the Royal Marsden!

Together we can help to save lives. Please use social media, post a picture of your night in, donate your money and challenge your friends to do the same! You will make a real difference to someone who needs it!

A bit more about the Royal Marsden - The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity raises money solely to support The Royal Marsden, a world-leading cancer centre. We ensure our nurses, doctors and research teams can provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments, which are used across the UK and around the world. From funding state-of-the-art equipment and groundbreaking research, to creating the very best patient environments, we will never stop looking for ways to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.
