8Km Swimming Challenge

Greetings,

My name is Ben Dobrovodsky Leka, a cardiology patient at Great Ormond Street Hospital, and a club swimmer. I am taking part in this long distance challenge (even though I'm a sprinter) to raise money for the hospital that performed multiple procedures to improve my condition. Please help me raise money for the hospital to be able to help children have a fuller, funner, and longer childhood and so they can say "Tomorrow will be a good day".

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.
