Story
Jeremy and Charlie Hunt are planning to run the London Marathon this year to raise money for the new Royal Surrey Cancer & Surgical Innovation Centre. It is a project Jeremy started last year when he realised how serious the Covid backlog had become but what brilliant care is on offer at the Royal Surrey.
In that year Jeremy's brother Charlie was diagnosed with a sarcoma, a particularly aggressive cancer. He has had excellent treatment from the NHS and is still here nearly three years later - but it remains a huge battle for him and his family. He asked Jeremy to run the marathon for the first time with him, an offer that was nervously accepted! Charlie is hoping to run but may not be able to if it interrupts his treatment.
The proceeds will go to the new Royal Surrey Cancer Centre. We have been training over the hot summer and so far have managed a half marathon in Shere, an 18 mile route along the River Wey between Godalming and Woking and a rather hilly 20 mile loop around the stunning countryside of Hambledon and Hascombe.
Anyone who feels able to support us in the Marathon please do! We have raised just over £25m for the Royal Surrey so far but we need another £5m over the next five years , so every little donation helps!
Thank you for your support.
