Click here to create your own Walk This Way for Radio Marsden fundraising event >>
Take part in the first Walk This Way for Radio Marsden fundraising event and complete a mile a day in June 2021.
Radio Marsden is the hospital radio station serving the Royal Marsden Hospitals in London, 24 hours a day.
It is entirely operated by volunteers and even lockdown didn't stop us. Many of our members created makeshift home studios to keep our brilliant range of programming on air so that Royal Marsden patients always have friendly, familiar voices and fantastic music to tune into, day or night.
We need your support to keep us on air and offering a valuable add-on to the incredible patient care provided by the hospital staff.
Walk, jog or run. Take part as a team and notch up the miles together. Or push yourself to your limit as an individual. The choice is yours. Don't worry if you miss a day or even if you missed starting at the beginning of June you can make up the miles at any point over the month.
Just set your fundraising target then safely get out and about for your favourite route while helping to keep Radio Marsden broadcasting to the patients of the Royal Marsden Hospitals.
