Team Marsden are raising funds by taking on the fantastic South Downs Way Trek 2026 to make a difference to cancer patients everywhere.

Story

In 2021, Mum was diagnosed with Lymphoma. After receiving treatment from the local hospital, there was hope as she went into remission following six sessions of chemotherapy. However, in early March 2025, she became unwell again and faced the devastating news of Stage 4 Lymphoma. Despite a short course of chemotherapy that did not yield positive results, she was referred to the Royal Marsden for advanced care.

In September, she received ground-breaking CAR-T treatment. Just one day before my 50th birthday, we were overjoyed to learn that the treatment had worked and she was in remission! The journey through this brutal treatment has been challenging, but we are incredibly grateful for the unwavering support and exceptional care provided by the Royal Marsden.

As recovery continues slowly but surely, we feel compelled to give back to this remarkable institution that has done so much for our family. Therefore, Myles and I are lacing up our walking boots to participate in the South Downs Way Trek on May 2nd, 2026. We would be deeply appreciative if you could sponsor us in this endeavour.

The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity plays a vital role in improving the lives of those affected by cancer. Your contributions help ensure that world-leading nurses, doctors, and research teams can provide top-notch care and develop life-saving treatments used across the UK and beyond. From funding state-of-the-art equipment to creating supportive patient environments, your support will make a meaningful difference in the fight against cancer.
