Why am I fundraising for GOSH?
My beautiful twin sister, Taylor, was born with transposition of the great arteries. She was transferred from the hospital we were born in, in Norfolk, to Great Ormond Street where she received food heart surgery that almost saved her life. The doctors, surgeons and nurses done everything they could do to save Taylor, but she ended up getting Septicemia at just 6 weeks old. Sepsis is a battle that even the strongest warriors struggle to win. Taylor passed away at 7 weeks and 2 days old.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.
