The Great Family Walk 2026

Our Family's Progress

Bear
Our target: 42 miles
We've completed 42.6 miles together!

This August, our family will be taking on 42 miles of adventurous family fun for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Chairty) to help build a new world-class Children’s Cancer Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).
 
Your donations will help to keep us all motivated to get out there and clock up the miles, but they’ll also help to beat cancer for more children.

Over half way!!

Another 3 mile walk today means we are officially over half way to the 42 mile target!! We are so proud of how determined George is to complete this challenge. 
Thank you to everyone who has donated so far and all of the words of encouragement. We've been able to up our donation target to be able to help GOSH even more ❤️

1st week done

We've completed our first 7 miles this week - 35 miles to go!! 

Life threw a bit of a curve ball at us when Jake's appendix decided to get very angry at the start of the week and he needed to have emergency surgery to have it removed which then involved a few days stay at hospital. 
So between hospital visits, work and holiday club days it's not been the easiest week for getting in the miles! George is very determined to make up more miles next week!! 

This August, our family is joining The Great Family Walk!

George asked that this summer we take part in his first charity event. We looked through various options and eventually decided on The Great Family Walk, which is raising crucial funds for Great Ormond Street children's hospital. 


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

We need a new home for breakthrough treatments and pioneering research, so we can save more children's lives. And because cancer shouldn't get to steal anyone's childhood, we need a place that's more than a hospital – a place that's a school, a playground, a garden, and so much more.

Please consider sponsoring us so 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.
