Day Two - 5.37km

Dear Florence,

Today was much harder, but we did it. I’m tired and my back aches. Sleeping on a hospital pull out bed (your cousin has been ill recently) will do that. But then again, that’s something that you and Mummy know only too well. Mummy is now back to the recliner chair and you back in your hospital cot in a GOSH side room. We’re all grateful, but at the same time, we wish you weren’t there. We wish you were back at home. And so we plod on. ‘Cos it’s all we can do.

Dear Florence, Today was a soggy one. So much so that my coat needed a wet floor sign in the café! But I was spurred on so much by everyone’s donations. We even had people from Australia and America sending money during the night! Today I went up the big hill to Mapperley. The wind was (literally) behind me. It made me think of your Great Grandma Peggy. As I walked I could hear her saying An Irish Blessing- “may the wind be always at your back”. It brought a smile to my face and helped no end.

I’m walking 150K in October for GOSH Charity!

I’m challenging myself to walk 150 kilometres this October to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity).

Every day brings new challenges at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Every day, around 750 seriously ill children and young people are seen at GOSH from all over the UK for life-changing treatment and care. Every day, doctors and nurses battle the most complex illnesses, and the brightest minds come together to achieve pioneering medical breakthroughs.

And with every kilometre I walk, I’ll be helping GOSH Charity give seriously ill children the chance of a better future.

This extraordinary hospital has always depended on charitable support, so please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.

Yes, make my donation a Gift Aid donation.
I confirm I am a UK taxpayer and would like Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity to reclaim tax on this donation, any future gifts I make, and any donations I have made in the past four years. I understand that if I pay less Income or Capital Gains Tax than the amount claimed on all my donations in that tax year (April 6 – April 5) it is my responsibility to pay any difference. Please note that Gift Aid cannot be claimed by one individual on monies collected from multiple donors e.g., birthday collections.
