The Banham Marsden March can only happen thanks to you!

The Banham Marsden March relies on the amazing support of our team of volunteers, and you could be one of them!

The Banham Marsden March is our annual flagship fundraising event where thousands of our dedicated supporters walk either five or 15 miles between the two hospital sites in Chelsea and Sutton. Our incredible walkers have raised over £17 million for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity since the event began in 2011. We couldn’t have achieved any of this without the support from our incredible volunteers.

  • An opportunity to be part of an exciting day in the local community and meet fellow volunteers and walkers
  • The chance to learn new skills and gain new experiences in events

“Still buzzing from my volunteering stint at the finish yesterday!! I somehow became unofficial photographer by the Marsden lights!

It was brilliant to meet so many walkers. It was so inspiring, and sometimes very emotional, taking photos for you all and reading and listening to your reasons for walking.

I cannot express my gratitude enough to everyone who walked and donated so more people can receive the excellent care I had from the Marsden.”
