Adventure awaits this August

Whether you’re conquering the countryside, pacing through parks or strolling the city streets, every step counts. Sign up to the Great Family Walk and complete 42 miles throughout August as a team, your way. Walk where, when and how you like, in little boredom-busting bursts or bigger memory-making family adventures.  
  
No expensive days out or fancy equipment needed. Just lace up your trainers, get outdoors and enjoy quality time together. Pack a picnic and discover somewhere new or revisit your family’s favourite spots as you have fun and work towards your shared goal.  
  
Whether you’re walking together or apart, every step counts towards your team’s challenge. It’s your family time, your adventure, your way.

More than just a walk

Every step you take and every pound you raise helps build the new Children’s Cancer Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital, supporting children with cancer and their families and helping to beat cancer for more children.  
  
Raise whatever you can, and you’ll unlock plenty of rewards along the way. From fun weekly side quests to digital badges that celebrate your milestones, there’ll be lots of activities and surprises to keep the whole family motivated throughout the month.  
  
Plus, raise £42 and you’ll unlock exclusive GOSH Charity T-shirts for your whole family. Go the extra mile by raising £150 and earn a special wooden Great Family Walk medal to celebrate your achievement and remember your adventure.  
  
A challenge to be proud of, rewards for the whole family and a chance to make a real difference.

Help make a difference

By joining the Great Family Walk and fundraising this August, you’ll help us build new Children’s Cancer Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and help beat cancer for more children.  

GOSH already cares for children with the hardest-to-treat cancers, and new treatments are giving hope to families across the UK. But these advances have outstripped GOSH’s current cancer facilities.  

We need your help to build a Children’s Cancer Centre that has all the latest treatments and best equipment, but also feels bigger, brighter and a bit more fun than an ordinary hospital.

Together we can Walk it. Build it. Beat it.

All the funds raised from The Great Family Walk will go towards the development of cancer care at Great Ormond Street Hospital. In the event that costs change, or the needs of the hospital or patients change, we reserve the right to redirect funds for use against the hospital’s most urgent needs.
