I’m stepping up for seriously ill kids
On Saturday 28 March 2026, I’ll be climbing 36 floors (896 steps) to the top of London’s iconic 20 Fenchurch Street (the “Walkie Talkie”) to help build the new Children’s Cancer Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
Because no childhood should ever be cut short by cancer.
While research and treatments have improved survival rates dramatically, cancer remains the leading cause of death for children aged 1 to 14 in the UK. Too many young lives are still interrupted far too soon.
GOSH is building a new home for breakthrough treatments, a space designed not only for world-class care, but for hope. A place that feels more than a hospital: a place with light, learning, play, and comfort. A place where children can still be children, even during the toughest battles of their lives.
This challenge is also a bit personal.
Back in 2018, my wave was cancelled and I could not complete the climb. Although I was given the chance to participate to other future events, I lost momentum and didn’t seriously try again, until now.
While I no longer live in the UK, I’m coming back for a little unfinished business… and a bit of redemption.
If you can, support my Tower Climb challenge.
