For the second year, I am challenging myself to walk 25 km to raise money for the Royal Surrey - having been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer, I had chemo and radiotherapy followed by a total oesophagectomy whilst under the care of this amazing hospital.

The Royal Surrey is currently undergoing extensive building work to increase its capacity and make available the latest technology, which will lead to an improvement in outcomes for future cancer patients.

I am again walking in memory of two friends, Margaret and Karen, who have both passed from their cancers.
