Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Here I am ringing the End of Chemo Bell in Guy's cancer Centre on June 14th last summer.

I am aiming to complete a marathon within 1 year of finishing chemotherapy.

This is my small way of repaying the NHS in general, and Guy's cancer Charity in particular, for the amazing treatment and extended life they have given me.

The Magna Carta marathon is 10 months after the last chemo dose - If I don't manage to complete this one, I will still have 6 weeks to find another, train a bit further and try again

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.
