Story

Hi everyone,

This coming April, I’ll be running the 2024 London Marathon to raise money for Guy’s Cancer Charity, an incredible organisation supporting cancer care and clinical research based out of Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospitals, London.

This is the first time I’ve done anything, other than growing facial hair, worthy of the opportunity to raise money for an amazing cause and so it was inevitable it was always going to be about cancer.

Since losing my mother 24 years ago and having worked in cancer for the past 5 years, it is a disease that has become defining in my life and so I’d love to raise as much as we can to directly improving cancer care in the immediate and long term.

Guy’s Cancer Charity is particularly special as funding goes both directly to initiatives that improve clinical care now, such as enabling mobile cancer services, better diagnostic facilities, robotic surgery and protecting women’s fertility, but also to research initiatives that invests into realising improvements for the future, such as funding translational oncology units and supporting clinical research.

It would mean a huge amount if you’d be able to donate, only 250 tenners to raise to meet my funding goal and so thank you so much for helping me get there!

Best,

Callum

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.
