Fergus and Cora

Fergus and Cora are joining the 2km race to help beat childhood cancer by taking part in RBC Race for the Kids

In March 2024 Cora, who is now 2, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma cancer. She has already had surgery and several rounds of chemotherapy. Now we are in London where she is receiving Proton Beam Therapy. We thought this would be a great thing to participate in while we are here and try and raise some money too!!

Cancer is the biggest killer of children aged one to 14 in the UK. But a child doesn’t have to die from cancer for it to take their life. Living with cancer is different for every child. It can mean countless rounds of debilitating treatment. Seeing your siblings through the windows of an isolation room. Not knowing when you’ll sleep in your own bed again. It can mean missing out on parties and playdates and trips to the park. It can mean missing the moments that make up a childhood. 

But we won’t let it. 

We won’t let cancer steal childhoods. 

Pioneering research is underway to find the most effective treatments and cures, which give hope to children and their families. 

But the rapidly changing pace of cancer medicine has outstripped GOSH’s existing cancer facilities., and the hospital needs a new home to help deliver breakthrough therapies. Somewhere that will treat the child, not just their disease. 

That home will be the new Children’s Cancer Centre at GOSH.

The funds raised from RBC Race for the Kids will help build a world-class facility with children at its heart. 

A place where children have access to play and education alongside pioneering treatments. Where families can stay together through some of the hardest moments. Where access to outdoor space is a priority, and a focus on nutrition helps fuel recovery. 

Please sponsor me to take on a 2k run for GOSH Charity. Together we can build it. Together we can help beat childhood cancer.
