Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving

We’re Raising £2,100 for www.project21forlife.com an initiative set up by our great family friend Richard Sullivan who has recently been diagnosed with a brain tumour. 21 is a number that has regularly featured significantly in Richard’s life but no more so than when he was discharged from hospital on 21-12-21 having started his treatment. Funds raised will be donated to the John King Brain Tumour Foundation, the Atkinson Memorial Wing of St George’s Hospital and the Royal Marsden Neuro-Oncology Unit. 

In May I’ll be cycling 21 miles a day for 21 days around the Surrey roads and towns that Richard knows and loves. 

Richard and I are two boys from Thames Ditton and our parents were great friends. When my mother moved to Claremont in 1995 Richard and Christine revived the Sullivan/Handford friendship and helped her out whenever they could. When we moved to Claremont in 2010 Richard and Christine then took us under their wing and introduced us to the wonderful circle of friends we now have. We will forever be eternally grateful for the Sullivan kindness and friendship. 

I have never known such a positive person and Richard’s vision to set up www.project21forlife.com is a testament to his optimism and selfless support to others. 

It’s now my time to support Richard and all those with this cruel condition so please do give generously to the cause.
