“I have taken on the National Three Peaks Challenge, not simply as a physical endeavour but as a chance to explore life beyond [cancer] diagnosis and to give something back. The Royal Marsden is a place that holds great meaning for me and whose care and expertise are life changing for so many people,” reads Princess Kate’s caption on The Prince and Princess of Wales’s official Instagram page. “Through this challenge, I want to raise awareness for the deeper impact of serious illness and the importance of holistic healthcare. Every individual is different, and ensuring there is a whole person approach to care enables those living through cancer to manage the deeply personal challenge of diagnosis. Holistic therapies complement clinical pathways and support patients’ ability to maintain their wellbeing, resilience and quality of life during an exceptionally difficult time.”
