Most of us have experienced cancer whether it is family or friends and we all know how important it is that our loved ones get the best care & support to help them fight and survive cancer. My daughter Nikki Connelly and I are going to take on this challenge together in support of this very well worth charity which will help many many patients.

I have been a member of staff at St Thomas' Hospital for 32 years, so I see every day how hard the hospital works to help patients that are going through cancer.

By doing this challenge we are hoping that money raised will help support these many patients even more. Thank you.

We are doing this challenge in memory of my husband and Nikki's Dad and it will be an honour.

In Memory of my husband David Anthony Connelly

By taking part in St Thomas' Abseil, you'll help support the incredible NHS staff and exceptional healthcare provided by Guy's Cancer.

Your donations will help make sure everyone gets personalised care which is as unique as they are.

£10 could help run a virtual support group session, enabling patients and carers to share their experiences of cancer from the comfort of their own home.

£50 could help provide a comforting care package for someone receiving end of life care, helping to alleviate symptoms and soothe fears.

£150 could provide expert welfare and benefits advice for a patient experiencing financial hardship, giving them the freedom to focus on their recovery.

£350 can help invest in the latest surgical robotic technology, so expert surgeons can work with greater accuracy and send patients home to their families sooner.
