Finley Perkins

Swim 8km in March 2025

About me

My name is Finley Perkins and I am 5 years old. I like pokemon, playing football, swimming and the drums and really like to help others. That is why I have decided to try and complete the 8KM swim in March for GOSH. My mummy told me about what the hospital does and I really wanted to help. I love swimming and starting learning last year and thought that a sponsored swimming event would be really good! 

If you can, please could you help me reach my fundraising target and I will keep you updated with how I am getting on! 

Thank you, love Finley x

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

I’m challenging myself to swim 8km this March 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.
