Story

As part of my aim to run the 6 Abbotts World Marathon Majors to support Head and Neck Cancer charities, I'm proud to be running The London Marathon 2023 with Guy's Cancer Charity.

Following my diagnosis in 2020, I underwent a number of operations at Guys Cancer Centre, utilising ground-breaking TORS (Trans Oral Robotic Surgery) Techniques.

These techniques enable less radical/life-changing outcomes from treatment, and hopefully my fundraising will only continue to support the development of these for others.

With a focus on patient-centred care, we combine state-of-the art-equipment, novel clinical trials, passionate staff and the most modern cancer research with compassion and effective psychological support so that our patients and their loved ones can feel fully supported throughout their cancer journey. We do this because we know each person and every cancer is unique - we don’t want to treat them all the same. Guy’s is the leading UK provider of care and treatment for people with cancer and we’re dedicated to helping patients navigate what can be the most challenging time of their lives. With all our services located under one roof within our bright and welcoming Cancer Centre, we’re able to offer seamless care every step of the way, from diagnosis, through treatment, and after, in an environment that doesn’t feel like a traditional hospital. We know that the landscape of cancer is changing. More people are being affected, but we’re at an exciting point in time when promising new therapies are being developed and research breakthroughs are waiting to be made. It’s crucial that we continue to fund the innovative research, treatment and exceptional care that takes place at Guy’s to ensure we keep going above and beyond what the NHS alone can provide as we help more people cope with and survive cancer.
