Fundraising events

Virtual events gave our supporters the opportunity to raise funds during the pandemic, but it was fantastic to be on the side-lines cheering on #teamUCLH at actual events this year. Thank you to each and every walker, runner and cyclist who has raised money for us. You are all amazing!

“In March 2020, I was diagnosed with a rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare soft tissue cancer behind my right eye.

Over the next six months

I went through nine rounds of chemo and 28 rounds of radiotherapy.

Despite the struggle of going through cancer treatment and navigating a pandemic, I’m blessed to have got the all clear in October, thanks to the wonderful care I received at UCLH.”

Tea and cake were served by Kassie Montanheiro, the clinical lead dietitian for oncology and haematology, in an NHS Big Tea on the NHS’ 73rd birthday in July, to raise money towards her marathon fundraising target.
