Every mile makes a difference

Brian took part in the London to Brighton Cycle Ride in memory of his Mum, and as a way to say thank you to The Royal Marsden for looking after her. 

"I was inspired to take on the cycle for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity after my mum was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and received incredible care and support from The Royal Marsden Hospital. Though she passed away, their compassion left a lasting impact on me. Years later, when I started cycling, I saw the London to Brighton charity ride as a way to give back and help others benefit from The Royal Marsden's amazing work."

Thanks to our supporters like Brian, we continue to be there for everyone who needs us.
