Lily
This September, I’m taking on the challenge of running 100 kilometres to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital.
When our daughter Lily was just one year old, she was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. It was something we never imagined we’d face with our baby, but thanks to the incredible care and expertise at GOSH, Lily received the treatment she needed and made a full recovery.
From the moment we arrived, we were amazed at how quickly she was seen and how fast everything was put in place. Even though it was during Covid – a time when hospitals were under so much pressure – the care we received was outstanding. The surgeons, nurses, and support staff worked together seamlessly, showing not only incredible skill but also genuine kindness and compassion.
Thanks to them, our beautiful little girl is here today. GOSH continue to support her with regular scans to make sure everything remains well, and we are so grateful for that ongoing care.
We’ll never be able to thank GOSH enough for what they have done for our family, but this run is my way of giving something back. It will be a challenge for me – I’m no runner – but every step will be a reminder of how lucky we are to have Lily here with us.
Your donations will help GOSH continue their incredible work: funding research, improving treatments, and supporting families when they need it most.
If you’d like to support me and this amazing hospital, I’ll be forever grateful ❤️
About 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 run, 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.
