Family to visit every London Underground station in one day
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 06:19 · Archive
Family and friends of Ruby Fuller, who died of blood cancer aged 18, will attempt to visit all 272 London Underground stations in one day on 30 October to raise funds for childhood cancer research.
A group of 24 family and friends will attempt to visit all 272 London Underground stations in one day on 30 October, in memory of Ruby Fuller who died of blood cancer. Ruby was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic lymphoma in July 2019 and died in May 2020 after her illness progressed to leukaemia. She would have turned 25 in October.
The challenge will raise funds for CCLG: The Children & Young People's Cancer Association through Ruby's 'Live Kindly, Live Loudly' special named fund, which supports research into T-cell lymphoma and leukaemia. The group aims to start at 5.22am at Amersham and finish by midnight at Heathrow Terminal 5, covering nearly 300 miles in a single day.
Ruby's mother Emma Jones said the challenge was fitting because Ruby wanted to study geography at university, loved maps and planning routes, and dreamed of one day working for Transport for London. If more than eight members of the group complete the challenge, they believe they will set a new record for the largest group to visit all Tube stations in a day.
