We raise funds for St George's Hospital to improve outcomes in neurosurgery

Story

We’re raising £2,100 for project21forlife, an initiative set up by Richard Sullivan to raise funds for the John King Brain Tumour Foundation and the Neuro - Oncology Department at the Royal Marsden Hospital, Sutton.
Together we can tackle brain tumours.

On 7th May 2022, I’ll be walking 21 kilometres from my home in Surrey to St Georges Hospital in Tooting. I shall be accompanied by my darling daughters, K-J and Lily, my fabulous friend, Karen Handford, and many wonderful supporters. 
We shall take the scenic route through Bushy Park, Richmond Park and across Wimbledon and Putney Commons, and finally onto Tooting, as part of www.project21forlife.com in which people will be fundraising, all with the theme of 21.

My husband, Richard Sullivan, the inspiration behind www.project21forlife.com, was discharged from St Georges on 21-12-21, following treatment for his recently diagnosed brain tumour.

Grateful for the outstanding treatment provided by the surgeons at St George’s Hospital, and the ongoing excellent care at the Royal Marsden - and mindful that less than 3% of cancer research funding annually is allocated to brain tumour cancers - Richard is determined to make a difference, despite currently undergoing an intense programme of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Funds raised will be donated to: www.johnkingbraintumourfoundation.co.uk supporting the Atkinson Morley Wing of St George’s Hospital and 
The Royal Marsden Neuro-Oncology Unit www.royalmarsden.org
