Story

Around the world in less than 48 hours for Guy's Cancer Charity.

Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital leads the world in treating cancer. The staff and clinicians at this brilliant institution are much loved by all of us who have needed their specialist care and skill.

On the 11th of August 2022, I completed the fastest circumnavigation of the globe using scheduled flights in 46 hours and 23 minutes. No easy task completing a distance of 37200km, crossing all meridians and equator whilst overcoming a few tricky issues of closed airspace over Russia, non-entry for foreign nationals in parts of China, plus some remaining Covid restrictions. 

A big thank you to my financial sponsor Bahcesehir University ( BAU International ) and friends who have pledged to support this crazy venture but as Phileas Fogg once remarked " Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real" 

Please help me raise money to support staff welfare and pioneering treatments at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital.

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.
