Luke's Luxurious London Stay

Luke has recently turned 21 and is a massive Marvel fan. He is still receiving ongoing after care as a result of bravely battling with B Cell Lymphoma.

Luke (on the right hand side in our picture) wanted to make sure he helped other people in a similar position to him by becoming one of the faces of the NHS’s Plasma Drive campaign.

For Luke’s dream he decided that what he would like luxurious stay at a fancy hotel in London and a gourmet meal out with his friends.

Thanks to our friends at Firmdale Hotels PLC, we arranged for Luke and his 2 friends to stay in one of their luxurious suites for 2 nights.

Luke and his pals also went for an all expenses paid meal at Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay, where he was presented with a signed copy of Gordon’s book.

On the second night of his stay we arranged for a trip to Winter Wonderland complete with a VIP box at the Circus!

Luke said that the whole trip was just amazing and some much needed fun and laughter after what he has gone through with his treatment.

He said it was so great for him and his friends to try lots of new things at Gordon Ramsey's restaurant including a mammoth steak! ‘Thank you so much for making it all happen was truly a dream come true!’

Huge thanks to all involved in making Luke's dream a reality, we cannot thank you enough!!
