Sarah-Jane’s half marathon to say thank you
Completing the London Landmarks Half Marathon was more than a personal achievement for Sarah-Jane. It was her way of giving back to the remarkable staff at Guy’s and St Thomas’ who supported her through cancer treatment.
Exceptional care when it mattered most
Sarah-Jane shares, “Being at hospital with a cancer diagnosis can be very overwhelming and I was at many of my appointments on my own,” she says. “There were weeks where I would see teams from nuclear science, oncology, physiotherapy and phlebotomy to name a few. My brain and emotions were reeling, but everyone I met made the experience as comfortable as possible.”
“I am forever thankful to the staff at Guy’s and St Thomas’ for easing the strain of a very scary diagnosis.”
Giving back to the remarkable staff
After everything she’d experienced, Sarah-Jane wanted to do something for the people who had done so much for her. She signed up for the London Landmarks Half Marathon as her way of saying thank you. Although recovery from training took longer following her treatment, she was determined to cross the finish line.
In April 2026, Sarah-Jane completed the half marathon on a route that passed close to the hospitals that had cared for her, raising more than £1,000 for Guy’s & St Thomas’ Charity.
