On Saturday 8th June 2024 I will be abseiling down Guildford Cathedral in support of the John King Brain Tumour Foundation along with a team of other fearless friends!
Kate lost a school friend, Emily Oliver, at the age of 21 from a glioblastoma. It is a truly awful and unselective cancer. She was incredibly brave and an inspiration in the way she fought her disease and for setting up her own fund raising in aid of The Brain Tumour Charity. I will be making the leap in her memory.
The money raised, in June, will help with the purchasing of a Stealth Autoguide Robotics Guildance Platform which will benefit over 1,000 adult and paediatric neurosurgical patients each year at St George’s Hospital.
This vital piece of equipment, which can’t be funded by the NHS, will enable surgeons to perform more accurate positioning of implants tailored to each patient’s anatomy, meaning shorter surgical time and reduced radiation exposure - both patient and surgeon safety will be improved with greater surgical success.
Our team is aiming to raise as much money as possible to support this goal. Please press the ‘Give Now’ button, or visit their individual fundraising pages listed below!
