Why?

As a third-year student nurse coming to the end of my degree, I’m ready to take on a new challenge and finish this chapter out with a bang. This September, I’ll be running 100km to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Nursing has taught me resilience, determination, and the importance of giving back—and this challenge is a way for me to put those values into action. Every mile I run is not only a step towards completing my own goal but also a step towards supporting the incredible work GOSH does for children and their families.

About 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.
