Thank you for helping Rory & Lexi and to help other families

Great Ormond Street Hospital holds a very special place in my heart. My little nephew was born deaf in one ear and has recently had a cochlear implant before his first birthday, giving him an incredible opportunity to experience the world in a whole new way. GOSH’s care and expertise have been life-changing for him and our family.

My connection to GOSH goes back even further — my sister was born extremely premature and spent her earliest days in their care, where their amazing team gave her the best possible start in life.

I’m swimming 8K this March to raise funds for GOSH, to help them continue their vital work supporting children and families through life’s toughest challenges. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference.

Thank you so much for your support!

I’m swimming 8km in March for GOSH Charity! 

I’m challenging myself to swim 8km this March to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity).

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.
