Ryan' ride for Betsi At The Marsden

Ryan R is raising money for Betsi At The Marsden

London to Brighton Cycle Ride 2026 · 13 September 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Betsi At The Marsden was born from our daughter Betsi’s cancer journey. At just nine years old, she was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma and endured intensive chemotherapy and radiotherapy across London hospitals. During her treatment, we saw how often she was disturbed while resting so medical teams could access her lines — sometimes needing to remove her pyjamas completely, even in the middle of the night. When a child is fighting cancer, rest is not a luxury — it is essential. Yet so many young patients are left feeling exhausted, vulnerable and self-conscious at a time when they need comfort the most. So we created specially adapted pyjamas designed to allow medical access with minimal disturbance. They help children stay covered, feel more “normal”, and most importantly, sleep and heal with dignity. Our mission is simple: to provide a free pair of adaptive pyjamas to every child in the UK undergoing cancer treatment. With over 1,000 children in treatment each year, your support helps us bring comfort, confidence and care to families facing the toughest fight of their lives.

Story

I’m taking on the London to Brighton bike ride in support of Betsi At The Marsden, a brilliant little charity started by the wonderfully inspiring Betsi and her family.

While Betsi was going through cancer treatment, she and her family came up with the idea for specially adapted pyjamas. They make it easier for doctors and nurses to access treatment lines without having to fully disturb or uncover a child, helping them stay comfortable and get the rest they need.

Our aim is to provide a free pair to every child in the UK undergoing cancer treatment, a simple idea that can make a huge difference at an incredibly difficult time. It’s a lovely charity with a really practical idea at the heart of it, and one I’m proud to be supporting.
