Franki’s Footsteps

Why we’re taking on the Great Family Walk 💙

Earlier this year, our world changed forever when our four year old daughter, Franki, was diagnosed with a rare Grade 3 brain tumour.

From the moment we arrived at GOSH, we were met with exceptional care, compassion and expertise. From life saving brain surgery to the ongoing scans, appointments and long term follow up that continue today, GOSH has been there for our family every step of the way.

We’re taking on this challenge to say thank you and to help raise money for the new Children’s Cancer Centre so that more children and families can receive the incredible care that meant so much to us.

Every mile we walk is for Franki, for the amazing staff at GOSH and for every family facing childhood cancer.

Thank you so much for your support. 💙

This August, our family is joining The Great Family Walk!

GOSH already cares for children with the hardest to treat cancers, and new treatments are giving hope to children and their families. But these advances have outstripped GOSH's current cancer facilities.

We need a new home for breakthrough treatments and pioneering research, so we can save more children's lives. And because cancer shouldn't get to steal anyone's childhood, we need a place that's more than a hospital – a place that's a school, a playground, a garden, and so much more.

Please consider sponsoring us so together we can Walk it. Build it. Beat it.

All the funds raised from The Great Family Walk will go towards the development of cancer care at Great Ormond Street Hospital. In the event that costs change, or the needs of the hospital or patients change, we reserve the right to redirect funds for use against the hospital’s most urgent needs.
