Why am I running for Gosh

This February, I’m running 100k for GOSH as a thank you for the incredible care our daughter has received and still is receiving. As a family, we are so, so grateful.

I started running last year as an outlet, and this challenge felt like the perfect way to turn gratitude into action. Every kilometre is a way of giving back, pushing myself, and helping make a difference for the families who need GOSH’s care the most.

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.
