Guy's and St Thomas' Foundation

hellloo and ciao everyone

Over the next few months I’m running two half marathons in Glasgow and London, and then the big one: the Rome Marathon next March … when in Rome.

I’m fully embracing my Keira Knightley headband stage been told it’s very much Bend It Like Beckham vibes, while I clock the miles, all in aid of Guys and St Thomas’ Cancer Trust.

This charity is close to my heart, as they’ve supported loved ones of mine through incredibly difficult times. Running these races is my way of saying thank you, and of giving something back for the care, kindness and hope they provide every single day.

Every donation helps – whether it keeps me moving when my legs want to quit but more importantly, it helps the charity fund vital research, provide world-class care, and support families when they need it most. Your support truly makes a difference.

thank you to everyone who supports

love Connor

Hello, I’m running the London Landmarks Half Marathon to raise funds for Evelina London Children’s Charity, part of Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation. One of life’s greatest injustices is that no child chooses where or how they are born. Evelina works every day to fight that injustice by providing life-saving care to children from the moment they are born through the most critical moments of their early lives. Your donation will help the hospital continue delivering world-class treatment, supporting families, and giving children the chance to grow, recover, and thrive. Please join me in supporting their incredible work.

Team Beckenham Takes on the Tough Mudder!

This incredible charity supports patients and families through some of life’s toughest battles.

We’re pushing ourselves to the limit… now we need your support!

I'm raising money for Guy's and St Thomas' Foundation after having received amazing treatment and care last December after my Stage1b2 cervical cancer diagnosis. You all know I love my Triathlon activities and am a keen cyclist. Chris Hoy is obviously a hero of mine so when he started promoting this Tour De 4 I knew I had to be a part of it. The Tour de 4 aims to shine a spotlight on what a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis can look like and demonstrate that it is possible to live well and lead a happy life alongside this devastating diagnosis.

On September 7th I’ll be joining Chris and others to cycle the Red Ride, 56 miles from the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow to Kilysth and out into the hills.

Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate a lot or a little. Anything helps. Thank you for your support.

I’m going to be riding in the inaugural Chris Hoy Tour de 4 to raise money for Guys and St Thomas’ cancer charity where Jeremy was so well cared for. Fundraising is essential for treatment and research to give our loved ones the best chance.

Thank you for your support, any donations welcome and massively appreciated ♥️

Hi everyone, I’m going to be running 10k for Guys and St Thomas’ Charity on Sunday 13th July 2025.

My older sister, Marie, was rushed into hospital in February due to pneumonia and MRSA. The emergency surgery she was given by St Thomas’ hospital saved her life and they were truly amazing with everything they did. The intensive care unit is nothing short of incredible, the nurses were so attentive and kind, and they were hugely supportive to Marie’s family (including myself) which is greatly appreciated in such a hard time. As well as St Thomas’, Guys hospital were also brilliant. They cared for her during and after her transfer from St Thomas’, and were very supportive and helpful in her process into recovery. Thanks to Guys and St Thomas’, my sister is still alive today and able to be back with her two babies, 4 and 13 weeks.

Please take the time to share this and donate, anything at all is appreciated massively and goes towards helping such an incredible institution. I have zero running experience and just want to do something to show my gratitude to Guys and St Thomas for saving my sisters life. Thank you in advance!

My father passed away in late august due to heart failure, and my mother is awaiting heart surgery and has been a patient at Guys and St Thomas for 3 years.

Me and my 2 friends Lucy and Zahra, will be running 10 miles in London in April, to help raise funds for Guys and St Thomas. We hope to raise money to help the hospital in any way we can and so they can perform more surgeries and give people a chance at a longer life which sadly my dad didn’t get.

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

The Evelina Children’s Hospital meant a lot to Justin. Not only did he work at Guy and St Thomas‘s Hospital for many years, but also his youngest son (Dominic’s) life was saved by them when he was young.

For this reason, and because Justin wouldn’t want anyone wasting money on flowers, we thought it was a fitting tribute to a man who spent his life saving people’s lives, that he would continue to help people in the same way the Evelina helped our family.

Justin was a kind and gentle soul and he will be greatly missed by his three children, his sister, parents and everyone who knew him.

Georgie's journey is one of resilience and triumph against incredible odds. Born prematurely at just 24+3 weeks, weighing only 1lb 5oz, his fragile existence hung in the balance. From his transparent skin to the struggle for each breath, Georgie's fight began from the moment he entered this world.

The NICU at Evelina Children’s Hospital became his sanctuary, where skilled hands and tireless dedication fought alongside him. Intubated due to underdeveloped lungs, Georgie faced numerous hurdles, including blood transfusions, sepsis, a collapsed lung, and even meningitis. Through it all, the unwavering commitment of the hospital staff was the beacon of hope for Georgie and his family.

Every day was a battle, but Georgie never gave up. With each milestone reached, hope bloomed a little brighter. Finally, after months of courageous struggle, Georgie was able to go home, just in time for Christmas—a true miracle.

Georgie's story is a testament to the remarkable care provided by the Evelina team. Their expertise, compassion, and round-the-clock support not only saved Georgie's life but also gave him a chance at a future filled with promise.

Now, as Georgie continues to thrive, we aim to give back. Your support will help ensure that other children and families facing similar challenges receive the same exceptional care and support that carried Georgie through his journey. Your generosity will make a tangible difference in the lives of countless others, giving them hope and strength to overcome whatever challenges they may face.

Join us in honoring Georgie's incredible journey by contributing to our cause. Together, we can ensure that the Evelina Children’s Hospital remains a beacon of hope for families in need. Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and for being a part of Georgie's story of triumph.

In loving memory of our dear Alison...

We were all heartbroken to learn that our friend and colleague Alison Boem passed away on Friday 16th February 2024. She was taken far too soon and will be so very missed.

The family has requested that no flowers be sent, but for donations be made in her memory to Guy's and St Thomas' Foundation where she was cared for so well in her final days.

Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause - it will mean so much to Alison's family.

Bertie was born a healthy baby and had all his checks. We went home and a week later he went off his food, cried all morning and by lunch time he was starting to go blue. At this point we were on our way to St Helier Hospital, and as we arrived the Dr took one look at him and ran into Resus with him. He was very quickly assisted with his breathing and after a blood test we were told that he had a coarctation, which is a blockage of the aorta. There was very little blood getting to his vital organs and this had slowly been occurring over the morning. The reason his heart sounded healthy at birth was because when babies are growing in the womb, there is another blood vessel which carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. At approximately one week of age, this vessel closes and the aorta takes over the role. As Bertie’s aorta was blocked, his body slowly started to shut down. He was given some medicine which helps the blood vessels to open wider to encourage some circulation, and we were told he had got very sick and might not make it. He got transferred to The Evelina Children’s Hospital by the South Thames Retrieval Unit, which is a mini ITU on wheels. Doctors performed surgery to cut out the blockage and fix the two wider ends together (like a pipe).....and he survived!! Sadly, not all babies who have undiagnosed heart defects make it He had further surgery as a baby because the aorta started to close again. He still suffers some effects of the heart condition and will always need to be monitored by specialists. Further surgery may be required but we will know that as he grows up. He is a happy 6 year old now! I made it my business to become more heart healthy and try to give something back to those who have helped us. Over the past 6 years, thanks to our generous family and friends we have raised £5000 for The Evelina London Children’s Hospital, and are now hoping to raise some money for the South Thames Retrieval Unit.

Now Bertie and his mates are doing their bit! They are taking part in Tough Mudders Lidl Mudder next Sunday and raising money to give a little back!
