In 2017, at the age of 37 I was diagnosed with an extremely aggressive ovarian cancer, with a poor predicted outcome. Quite a shock for to hear, particularly as I have two young children to worry over. 

I was lucky enough to receive urgent treatment at the Royal Marsden. Now I've been cancer free for over a year. My family & I will by eternally grateful for the wonderful care provided from all the staff at both Chelsea & Sutton sites and we'd like to fundraise as a way of saying Thank You. 

In addition to this, we'd like to be able to complete this walk to celebrate my recovery - particularly as I was bedbound through the majority of my illness.

You may be interested to know that the average cost of cancer treatment was calculated to approximately £30000 per person (in 2011*). 

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.
