Mums and Mini Marvels

5 year old Harrison and I are excited to be taking part in the 2024 Race For The Kids event in London's Hyde Park. We will be running with our fellow marvel friends Sam & Stanley. 

After watching his mummy compete in her first crossfit event in September for 'BattleCancer' Harrison decided he wanted to help the children at Great Ormond Street Hospital ("GOSH") by giving something back and running for GOSH. 

We are grateful for our own good health and are thinking of those parents with children who are poorly. 

Please dig deep into your pockets to help raise money to build the new Children's Cancer Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital. 

Let's Go "Mini Marvels"

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.
