Six years ago, me & seven brilliant friends walked 26 miles along the South Downs way and between us raised a whopping £10k for the Royal Marsden. Life & lockdowns got in the way since, but this year we're back and our group has more than doubled. Each one of us has a reason to walk & a story to tell, here's mine:

Eight years ago, my husband Ben was diagnosed with Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Following chemo, an autologous cell transplant, immunotherapy, a second stem-cell transplant plus a gazillion post-transplant complications, Ben continues to be treated at, and cared for by the Royal Marsden
