Another weekend, another supporter conquers a marathon!

This time the congratulations go to the wonderful Gurdas, who took on the Yorkshire Marathon in support of his brother-in-laws treatment at UCLH - University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

"There's so much to be done, from being able to prevent the side effects of treatment through to fighting cancer itself, to just making the end more comfortable and letting people have more autonomy."

Gurdas will also be running the London Marathon in 2026 💜

We are immensely grateful to everyone who contributed to our scalp cooling campaign – thanks to your incredible generosity, we have been able to provide two brand new scalp cooling units for patients at UCLH - University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Based in the UCH Cancer Centre, these innovative devices are now being used to keep patients’ scalps cool during chemotherapy, thereby reducing damage to the hair follicle, and reducing hair-loss.

With special thanks to Unique Sports Group for their tremendous generosity and who’s donation made this campaign a reality 💜
