Story

On Sunday 27th April 2025 I will be running in the London Marathon! This huge challenge will be my first ever marathon and I’ve decided to use this opportunity to raise money for a charity that is very important to me and Vee: Guy’s Hospital Cancer Charity.

Earlier this year, Vee’s stepdad Nev was diagnosed with Mesothelioma, a rare form of lung cancer. Guy’s Hospital has been there from the very beginning, providing expert surgery and the exceptional chance for Nev to participate in a clinical trial treatment. This trial offers hope for a cure that we never thought possible when he first received his terminal diagnosis.

Donating to Guy’s Cancer Charity will support incredible NHS staff and the exceptional healthcare team in conducting life-changing research that can help treat others with rare forms of cancer, like Nev.

Any donations of any size are hugely appreciated - keep me on my toes and track my training here!

Thank you so much.

Tom

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.
