Two years ago, my husband Ben was diagnosed with Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. After a year of chemo, one autologous cell transplant and nine months of immunotherapy, he is currently recovering from his second stem-cell transplant -  thanks to the mighty NHS and Royal Marsden team ( and of course, his brother's cell donation. Thanks Chris!  )

On May 26th, I'm walking 26 miles along the South Downs in aid of the Royal Marsden. I was planning a nice quiet day out with a flask of tea & a radio 4 podcast, but then my incredible, amazing & supportive pals got wind of this and now we're all going. 

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.
