We’re challenging ourselves this December to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital

Millie is challenging herself to walk and cycle 25km and Beth is challenging herself to run 25km this December to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity).

In November 2024, we took Millie to the doctors after experiencing a lot of pain and tightening of the muscles in her left calf. After several tests at our local hospital, they referred her to GOSH.  In January 2025, GOSH diagnosed Millie with Fibro-Adipose Vascular Anomaly (FAVA) - a rare and painful vascular anomaly whereby a significant portion of the a muscle is taken over by tough, fibrous, fatty tissue. 

As this condition has only recently been recognised, doctors are still trying to work out the best way to treat it. In July 2025, Millie underwent an operation to help minimise the symptoms, but unfortunately it didn’t work for her so her journey is still ongoing with GOSH. So this is a charity that is very close to our hearts. 

Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity raises funds to help give 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. 

And with every kilometre we clock up, and every pound raised, we’ll be helping to give children the best chance and the best childhood possible.

Please help us to achieve our goals by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.
