💖 Help Me Support Great Ormond Street Hospital – Every Child Deserves a Smile 💖

Hello, my name is Balal Ahmed, and I’m reaching out with a cause that’s very close to my heart. I’m raising funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (GOSH) – a place that provides life-changing care and hope to seriously ill children and their families every single day.

Many of these brave young patients are going through more than most of us could imagine. While their strength is inspiring, they could all do with a little cheering up. That’s where we can come in.

With your help, we can make a real difference. Any small amount can help. 


Thank you. 

I’m swimming 8km in October for GOSH Charity!

I’m challenging myself to swim 8km this October to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity).

Childhood is special. It should be a time of joy, wonder, curiosity and fun. Of making friends, making mistakes, and growing into the adults we become. But it’s also fragile, and sometimes all too brief.

That’s why Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity raises funds to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. 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 no childhood should be lost to serious illness.

And with every kilometre I swim, and every pound raised, we’ll be helping to give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhood possible.

Please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.
