Four a good cause

Swim 8km in March 2026

We’re swimming 8km for GOSH Charity! 

4 swim buddies plan to complete the swim 8k in March challenge to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity). 

We’re setting the challenge of completing this 8km swim in just 2 days (19th and 20th March)

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 swim, 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.
