This summer, our incredible fundraisers, runners, walkers, and cyclists went the extra mile to raise vital funds for cancer services at UCLH, from marathons to bake sales, and even a brand-new cycling challenge! We are so proud of everyone who has taken part, and thankful to all your supporters - together you’ve raised over £57,400 this year!
Tour de 4
A huge thank you to Huw and Gareth Jones, and Debbie Denman (UCLH Support and Information Specialist) who took on the inaugural ‘Tour De 4’ challenge, Sir Chris Hoy’s new cycling event. Setting off from Glasgow, the ride shone a light on stage 4 cancer, and challenged perceptions about living with a stage 4 diagnosis. The team cycled an incredible 56 miles, raising money to fund improved patient care, staff training, ground-breaking research and so much more.

London Summer Walk
Sonographer Rita works in the University College London Hospitals imaging team, using ultrasound to screen and diagnose patients - earlier this year she took on the London Summer Walk, and raised an incredible £181.25 to support people with cancer at UCLH.
"I did the walk with a friend as a way of motivating us to do some exercise post maternity leave. I took the chance to help UCLH charity, as a member of staff I highly value their work for patients and staff within the uclh trust." - Rita
Head and Neck Bungee Jump
The incredible UCLH Head and Neck team reached new heights with their fundraising this summer - taking on an dare-devil bungee jump for the Cancer Fund!
