Support Martin, Emilia, and Oliver in Raising Money for Great Ormond Street Hospital!
Hello friends,
I’m thrilled to share that Emilia, Oliver, and I have decided to take on a 5k run around the iconic Hyde Park in London! On Saturday 12th October 2024. But this isn’t just any run—together, we’re raising funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), a place that provides life-saving treatment to seriously ill children.
GOSH is an incredible hospital that offers essential care to children from all over the UK. The work they do is truly remarkable, and we want to contribute by raising as much as we can to support their mission.
How You Can Help:
We would love your support in reaching our fundraising goal! Every contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward helping GOSH continue their amazing work. You can donate [insert donation link here] and be a part of something special.
Why We’re Doing This:
This 5k run is not just a personal challenge for us; it’s an opportunity to give back to a hospital that has touched the lives of so many. By supporting GOSH, we’re helping them provide world-class care, comfort to families, and hope to children in need.
Follow Our Journey:
We’ll be sharing updates on our training and the run itself, so stay tuned! If you’re in London on the day of the race, we’d love for you to come out and cheer us on in Hyde Park!
Thank you in advance for your support—whether it’s through donations or simply sharing our cause. Together, we can make a difference for the children and families at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
With gratitude,
Martin, Emilia & Oliver
I’m joining the race to help beat childhood cancer by taking part in RBC Race for the Kids
I’m taking part in GOSH Charity’s family festival and fun run, RBC Race for the Kids, to raise funds to help build the new Children’s Cancer Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).
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.
Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) already cares for children with the hardest to treat cancers. 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 or 5k for GOSH Charity. Together we can build it. Together we can help beat childhood cancer.
