innovation, and equipment. Their impact is felt every single day across
our hospitals.
Claire and Olive’s story
Claire ran the London Landmarks Half Marathon, raising
over £3,000 after King’s saved her daughter’s life.
In January 2024, Claire’s two year-old daughter
Olive was diagnosed with a brain tumour. A parent’s
worst nightmare, what followed was eight weeks in
hospital and five procedures including a 10-hour major
operation to remove the tumour. Thanks to King’s care,
Olive has made a strong recovery. Claire explains how:
King’s were incredible from the
first moment we walked into A&E
until the minute we le and all the
aercare since.
Olive is now almost back to her old self. She’s having regular MRIs to monitor her, as well as physio
sessions. She’s back to laughing, chatting and
playing and her walking is almost back to normal.”
Anything we can
raise to help make other
families in horrible
situations feel looked aer
and cared for in the way
we did would be amazing.”
– Olive’s mum, Claire
