Bobby Gotelee

'Welcome Back, Once More, Bobby!'

Greetings, and salutations, everyone! How are you all doing?
I hope you're all keeping well? And, so, it's official. I have decided to partake in another 100km challenge for Great Ormond Street Hospital, for the month of February (in 2026, no less).

And, so, this is a pre-production post, explaining who I am, and how I plan to undertake this challenge:

So, my name is Bobby, Bobby Gotelee to be exact. And I have been fundraising for Great Ormond Street, since June 2015. A big fundraising passion of mine are these types of challenges, because I find it's a great way to keep the body and brain active.

And, speaking of exercise, how do I plan to undertake this challenge? Well, as many of you may or may not know, I am a huge walk-a-holic, often going long distances at any one time. Moreover, I honestly thought that walking was off of the table, as far as a way to complete this event was concerned. However, upon some research and indignation, I've been given the greenlight to go ahead.

My target is sitting at £315 for this time, as a base target. And, much like every challenge, I'll try my best to reach that target. If we surpass the target, then updates will follow.

As always, I'm quite excited to take on the challenge (a little anxious too, but that comes naturally). And, that about wraps it up for me. So, if you'd like to spread the news, that I'm taking part. feel free to share this post. Otherwise, I'll keep you updated, before, during and after. Take care!

I’m running 100km in February for GOSH Charity!

I’m challenging myself to run 100km this February 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 run, 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.

I confirm I am a UK taxpayer and would like Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity to reclaim tax on this donation, any future gifts I make, and any donations I have made in the past four years. I understand that if I pay less Income or Capital Gains Tax than the amount claimed on all my donations in that tax year (April 6 – April 5) it is my responsibility to pay any difference. Please note that Gift Aid cannot be claimed by one individual on monies collected from multiple donors e.g., birthday collections.
