Run 100km in September 2025

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

I’m challenging myself to run 100km this September to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity). Please help me to achieve my goal of £500 by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.

First week

Sammy has completed 25km in his first week of the 100km challenge. He has really embraced this challenge and is doing amazing. On Thursday it was a real struggle to do 2km before diving practice due to him suffering with a stitch, he powered through. Saturday and Sunday Parkrun he got a personal best for both, 5km on Saturday 28mins 40secs and 2km on Sunday 9mins 43secs. We tell Sammy about each donation he receives and his little face lights up every time. Thank you all for donating and sending him messages of support, it is all really spurring him on.

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.
