Team Winter’s story
When conventional chemotherapy did not work for Siân
Winter’s stage 4 mantle cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma,
she was offered the opportunity to try a cutting-edge
treatment. Only just approved for use at King’s College
Hospital, CAR T had been used to treat other forms
of cancer but Siân was one of the first people in the
UK to receive it for mantle cell. The side effects were
incredibly severe but after many weeks in intensive
care and a total of 110 days in King’s, Siân was declared
cancer free and discharged in July.
The Winter family wanted to show their thanks for
the care and expertise they received from King’s and
#TeamWinter – all twenty-seven members! – signed up
to walk the Great Hospital Hike. Together, they raised
an incredible £6,000! And they are not stopping there.
The family have signed up for the 2022 Hike, including
one very special member – Siân herself.
“Fantastic day! Great event –
thanks to all those who took
part and of course all at King’s
College Hospital Charity!!”
Clive Kay, Chief Executive of King’s College
Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

Sign up to the Great Hospital Hike,

Hospital Charity support our
