Our Story

It’s been 10 years since my daughter Isabelle was diagnosed with leukaemia at the age of 3 years old. Our world was turned upside down and Great Ormond Street Hospital became our home from home for the next three years. It’s hard to express the gratitude we feel for everyone at Great Ormond Street and the wider NHS team as well as family and friends who were there for us every step of the way. 

I often take a moment to stop and think about all the children on the wards and out-patients having treatment, not a day went by when the wards were not full often, with children waiting for beds. The oncology wards are amazing yet awful places with children and families going through the unimaginable. Therefore we as a family would like to raise as much a possible for the new childrens’ cancer centre. 

I would also encourage everyone to consider joining the stem cell register. For many adults and children with blood cancers and disorders a stem cell transplant is their only hope of survival and often a match cannot be found. If you are 18-55 and in good health and would like to learn more please visit dkms.org.uk

Thanks so much
Suzanne 

I’m joining the race to help beat childhood cancer by taking part in RBC Race for the Kids

I’m taking part in GOSH Charity’s family festival and fun run, RBC Race for the Kids, to raise funds to help build the new Children’s Cancer Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).

Cancer is the biggest killer of children aged one to 14 in the UK. But a child doesn’t have to die from cancer for it to take their life. Living with cancer is different for every child. It can mean countless rounds of debilitating treatment. Seeing your siblings through the windows of an isolation room. Not knowing when you’ll sleep in your own bed again. It can mean missing out on parties and playdates and trips to the park. It can mean missing the moments that make up a childhood. 

But we won’t let it. 

We won’t let cancer steal childhoods. 

Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) already cares for children with the hardest to treat cancers. Pioneering research is underway to find the most effective treatments and cures, which give hope to children and their families. 

But the rapidly changing pace of cancer medicine has outstripped GOSH’s existing cancer facilities., and the hospital needs a new home to help deliver breakthrough therapies. Somewhere that will treat the child, not just their disease. 

That home will be the new Children’s Cancer Centre at GOSH.

The funds raised from RBC Race for the Kids will help build a world-class facility with children at its heart. 

A place where children have access to play and education alongside pioneering treatments. Where families can stay together through some of the hardest moments. Where access to outdoor space is a priority, and a focus on nutrition helps fuel recovery. 

Please sponsor me to take on a 2k or 5k for GOSH Charity. Together we can build it. Together we can help beat childhood cancer.
