When leading architect and urban designer Lucy Musgrave OBE was suddenly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia, life changed overnight. In this inspiring conversation, Lucy tells Dr Hilary how she went from near collapse to remission — and how one cartwheel sparked a national campaign to try to raise £200,000. From the moment she heard the word “curable,” to the gruelling six months of treatment and the daily ritual that became her symbol of survival, Lucy’s story is one of resilience, gratitude, and joy. She shares how Cartwheel for a Cure is helping fund vital research through Leukaemia UK.
