Why Great Ormond Street?

Great Ormond Street Hospital has always had a special place in my heart and been a part of my story.

As a child, I was lucky enough to be seen at Great Ormond Street and receive life changing care. This care has allowed me to grow up as a happy and healthy child, without feeling the symptoms of the heart issue I was born with. 

Great Ormond Street is the reason I could learn to swim, compete as a swimmer in childhood and enjoy the sport as an adult. Without them this would not be possible.

While this challenge isn’t the most dramatic or far-fetched, the ability I have to complete this 8km is directly due to GOSH. 

So whilst I swim, I am raising money for another little girl to receive the love and care I have. Please follow along and give if you are able xx

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

I’m challenging myself to swim 8km this October 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.
