Ruby Fuller died of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) when she was just 18. T-ALL affects around 200 people per year in the UK, with the vast majority being children and young adults. Treatments are toxicnand can result in serious long-term side effects. They also don’t work for 20% of children and 50% of adult patients. We desperately need new medicines that are more effective and less toxic. Ruby asked us to raise fund for research in her memory.

This October she would have turned 25. To mark her birthday, and in her memory, we’re taking on an extraordinary challenge: attempting to travel through all 272 London Underground stations in a single day - otherwise known as the London Tube Challenge.

We’ll be doing this to honour Ruby’s life and spirit – recognising her love of the London Underground - and raising vital funds for childhood and young people’s cancer research, so that future families facing blood cancer have better treatments, better options, and better outcomes.

15 of us are planning to take on this Challenge, and if more than 8 of us succeed, we'll be the largest group to have completed the challenge!

Everyone who sponsors us is invited to name their favourite London Underground station in their comment. They'll then go into a draw to win a watercolour painting of that station by the talented artist Stewart Walton - Ruby's cousins' grandfather (best known for his live on-stage illustrations for Glastonbury and Festival Republic).

We'd love your support ❤️
