🦇 Walking for Bengi 🦇

The Royal Marsden Charity looked after Bengi/Laura so incredibly well throughout the course of her illness so we want to say a huge thank you to the amazing doctors and nurses for all they did for her. 

In honour of Bengi's wishes, we are walking 15 miles—from the Royal Marsden Hospital in Chelsea to the one in Sutton—to raise vital funds. Both of these incredible hospitals have touched the lives of so many with their extraordinary care.

The Royal Marsden is renowned for its cutting-edge, life-saving treatments, and we are committed to supporting the ongoing research and exceptional care they provide. By raising funds, we can help ensure that more people like Bengi receive the best possible chance at treatment.

Thank you so much for your generous donations and for helping us honour Bengi/Laura’s legacy in this meaningful way. 
Your support means the world to us and to all those who benefit from the work of The Royal Marsden.❤️🦇
