In 2019 we lost a legend in Oliver Pell so a group of us have decided to run the Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise money for the excellent charity that supported him. In my professional life a competitor, Charlie Paton, who was a very highly respected individual in our small industry, sadly lost his battle earlier this year and I understand the Royal Marsden also supported him throughout.

Look out for 14 runners dressed as flamingos!

The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity raises money to improve the lives of people affected by cancer. We ensure The Royal Marsden’s world-leading nurses, doctors and research teams can provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments, which are used across the UK and around the world.

From funding state-of-the-art equipment and groundbreaking research, to creating the very best patient environments, we will never stop looking for ways to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.
