15 km's down

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

This February, I’m challenging myself to run 100km this February to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity). 

I have had skin cancer twice in the past few years. Thankfully I'm well and have been wonderfully supported by tremendous staff at the NHS. As part of my ongoing treatment, I was offered genetic testing at GOSH.

I don't have children and can only begin to imagine the challenges parents face when their children become seriously ill. It was in the waiting room at GOSH that I got a glimpse of the unbearable grief and fear of families with sick little ones. I also saw the excitement, joy and relief that came from knowing there was care and treatment available. 

Thankfully, because of GOSH, many children will have bighter,  healthier, longer and fuller lives.

If you can, please donate. Even the smallest amount can make a big difference. The more we raise, the greater the impact we can make. 

A healthy child has the potential to grow into a healthy adult, and together, many healthy children will contribute to building a thriving, healthy community.
