A message from Paul

We’re having a crack at the Marsden March this year. We have done it before, but this time it’s a bit more personal. At last year’s Marsden March I was in bed in the Royal Marsden Hospital with lots of tubes whilst in recovery from major surgery. I could hear the noise of the crowds outside the hospital and promised myself that if I was able to I would do the March in 2026 I would have a go.
In November 2024 I was diagnosed with Esophageal cancer.  I had to have several rounds of chemotherapy and major surgery. It is without doubt that the surgeons and nursing staff at the hospital saved my life. 
Please support us in anyway you can. It’s an important and personal cause.

Together we walk!

We're supporting The Royal Marsden, a world-leading cancer centre. By donating to my page, their nurses, doctors, and research teams can provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments. Together, we can save the lives of cancer patients everywhere. Please support me today.
