The Marsden March 2026
On Sunday 10th May 2026, I'll be taking part in the Marsden March, a 15 mile sponsored walk from near the Marsden Hospital in Chelsea to the Marsden Hospital in Sutton to raise money for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, passing through Putney, Wimbledon Common, Raynes Park, Stonecot Hill, North Cheam, Cheam and Belmont. The Marsden's target this year is to raise one and a half million pounds with over 5000 walkers.
The Marsden is a world-leading cancer centre. Their nurses, doctors and research teams provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments, which are used across the UK and around the world. From funding state-of-the-art equipment and ground-breaking research to creating the very best patient environments, they will never stop looking for ways to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.
Twenty years ago a good friend of mine was diagnosed with late stage cancer. The Marsden cured him with a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Twenty years later he’s alive and well. I’ve lost a lot of other friends and relatives to various forms of cancer so I'd like to raise as much money as I can for the charity.
The website of the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity gives a lot of detail about the March at https://march.royalmarsden.org
In the past several generous people on ScoopLoop have contributed to my fund, but as ScoopLoop will be closing down shortly I thought I'd make one last request while there's still time.
If you'd like to donate you can do so at:

Whether you donate £1 or £50. Every donation helps to make a difference.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers.
Tony
