Anne O’Connell, 65, from East Ham: 10 Bridge Walk
"I am determined to do this walk for Richard House. I may be slow but I will get there. When I first lost my sight completely I knew I had to do something to keep going.When you realise the work the hospice does, it is easy to understand why I want to do this."
Chris Griffin, 28, from Dagenham: Virgin London Marathon
"I don’t think the staff and volunteers get enough praise for the work that they do – sometimes under tough circumstances – and I don’t think that there are enough of these types of centres, especially in London. You never know when you, or someone in your family, could be in that position and need help."
Rossetta Primary School in Newham: Wear Red
“The children as well as the adults here at Rosetta Primary School were incredibly impressed and touched by the wonderful service Richard House provides to so many families and felt keen to support them."
Lee Dancer: Vintage Routemaster bus driver
““I’m a bus driver by trade but this was the first chance I’d had to drive the Routemaster. It was a lot easier than I thought and, although I had a few problems with the gears at first, it was great to be on the road. The reaction from passengers was really positive as well. Quite a few bus enthusiasts had heard about the drive and were on board with me.”
