Help us give seriously ill children the best chance, and the best childhood, possible
We are Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. We stop at nothing to help give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhood possible.
We do it by funding groundbreaking research, cutting-edge medical equipment and life-changing support. For the children from all over the UK who are treated by Great Ormond Street Hospital every day. For children with rare or complex illnesses everywhere. For this generation and all those to come.
Because we believe no childhood should be lost to serious illness.
Join us and help give seriously ill children the best chance, and the best childhoods, possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
About the challenge
What is the challenge?
You can split this however you like to help you hit your target, and you can also adapt the challenge to whatever works best for you, whether that means making it harder or easier.
How do I sign up? How does it work?
It's free to take part in Run 100km in February and easy to sign up:
1. Sign up here to request your free t-shirt.
2. Once you sign up, you will receive your own fundraising page. You can personalise this page to make it uniquely yours.
3. Share the link to your fundraising page with friends, family and colleagues. Tell them about your challenge and ask them to sponsor you.
4. Run 100km throughout February and share regular updates.
5. Feel a huge sense of pride and joy for completing your challenge.
Can I alter my challenge, so I cover a longer or shorter distance, or start and finish earlier or later?
Yes. This is your personal challenge, and you can adapt it in whatever way works for you. We understand that it is not always possible to complete a challenge exactly as planned. You are welcome to reduce or increase the distance or adjust your timeframe.
You do not need to tell us unless you want to, but it is helpful to update your supporters by posting on your page.
Please note that the distance leaderboard and milestone badges are set to specific distances and run between 1 and 28 February. If you reach milestones outside this period, you can request the badges by emailing facebookchallenge@gosh.org
Can I take part if I use a wheelchair, have reduced mobility, or cannot run?
We want everyone to feel included. If the standard challenge does not suit your needs, you are encouraged to adapt it in any way that feels comfortable and achievable. If you would like to talk through accessible options, please email facebookchallenge@gosh.org and we will be happy to support you.
Is there a fundraising target?
There is no required fundraising target, but we ask everyone to raise as much as they can.
Your fundraising page will start with a target of £223, which could fund a Play worker and the materials needed to prepare art and craft packs for children on the ward.
You can change your target at any time if you want to set your own personal goal.
