William Deverell charity swim

My favourite hobby is swimming and i thought what better than having fun and raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital at the same time. They do fantastic work saving children's lives everyday. My sister Elizabeth was very unwell at birth and spent time at Great Ormond Street Hospital and if it wasn't for the amazing staff looking after her and the care she received she may not be here today. Please help me achieve my goal of raising lots of money to help other families and sick children who are battling an illness every day.

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.
