Fundraising for Guy's Cancer Charity

Story

The women and girls section of Southwark Tigers RFC ('the Tiger Lilies') are raising money for Guys Hospital Cancer Centre.

We are playing a touch rugby match against Vigo RFC women on Sunday 3 December at Vigo.

Maggie Hammond coaches the Tiger Lillies. She was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year and was treated at Guys.

Maggie coached all the way through her treatment, apart from straight after her surgeries. The Lillies supported Maggie by driving her to training, messaging, visiting and doing her shopping. We also gave her a huge rugby ball, which no one can pass!

Guys Cancer Centre has complimentary therapies, available for free, which made a huge difference to Maggie during her treatment. We hope the money we raise will ensure these therapies continue to be available and be free at the point of need.

We ask that you support this amazing cause by giving what you can.

Support Guys, support women in sport and of course, support rugby!

With a focus on patient-centred care, we combine state-of-the art-equipment, novel clinical trials, passionate staff and the most modern cancer research with compassion and effective psychological support so that our patients and their loved ones can feel fully supported throughout their cancer journey. We do this because we know each person and every cancer is unique - we don’t want to treat them all the same. Guy’s is the leading UK provider of care and treatment for people with cancer and we’re dedicated to helping patients navigate what can be the most challenging time of their lives. With all our services located under one roof within our bright and welcoming Cancer Centre, we’re able to offer seamless care every step of the way, from diagnosis, through treatment, and after, in an environment that doesn’t feel like a traditional hospital. We know that the landscape of cancer is changing. More people are being affected, but we’re at an exciting point in time when promising new therapies are being developed and research breakthroughs are waiting to be made. It’s crucial that we continue to fund the innovative research, treatment and exceptional care that takes place at Guy’s to ensure we keep going above and beyond what the NHS alone can provide as we help more people cope with and survive cancer.
