I'm abseiling down the Spinnaker Tower - for the team that saved my life

This July, my lifelong friend Suzy and I will be taking on a 100-metre abseil down the iconic Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth. Why? To raise money for the incredible team on C6 ward at Southampton Hospital - the place where I received life-saving CAR-T therapy.

After Chemo, Radiotherapy and other treatments failed, i was offered this relatively new cell therapy, and thanks to the amazing team on C6 i was able to have it.

C6 is where I was treated and monitored for a few weeks - not just with cutting-edge science, but with real compassion, warmth and strength. My team and all the staff went above and beyond at every turn - not just for me, but for every patient who came through the doors. They're heroes in every sense of the word and I want to give something back.

Suzy has been by my side through thick and thin, and now she's quite literally roping up with me for this challenge - even though neither of us are great with heights! But we both know this is nothing compared to what the team on C6 face everyday, and what so many patients go through on their treatment journey.

The funds raised will go directly to supporting patients and staff on C6 - whether that's through improving facilities, supporting wellbeing, or helping provide extras that make a difficult time that bit more bearable.

Please donate whatever you can - every penny makes a difference.

Thank you so much - and wish us luck!
