Fire at the Royal Marsden

A fire destroyed part of the Royal Marsden yesterday. As far as I've heard, nobody was seriously injured.

This is the hospital where my mother received her chemotherapy. It is a place where there is so much research and cutting edge cancer treatment. Certainly, their expensive machines and research labs cannot have benefited from having a - the fire & b - the huge volume of water pouring down that would have been required to extinguish said fire.

So, I am not a big person for fundraising, but they have given my family a lot & thus I think it is worth linking to their donation page in case any of y'all out there have some extra dough to part with.

There is a perspective that the BBC put out with a rather charming, young (my age - so young:) patient. The last line is almost exactly what Mum has said...
"When you get cancer you become a member of a club you don't want to join and the Royal Marsden is our club house, so we all want to protect it."
