Arina Gaba, Trustee of Gift of Life, on how she found herself enjoying charity work and how it all started with Gift of Life back in 2010

On 27 May 2017 Ignaty Dyakov from St Petersburg, known across the UK as a linguist, Russian teacher and coach, walked the 100 km distance from London to Brighton within 24 hours in aid of Gift of Life and raised over £1200 for our young patients. Ignaty dedicated that challenging journey, without sleep, breaks, music or audiobooks, to the children receiving oncological treatment in Russian hospitals.
