Raphy Laming – running and singing
Raphy Laming has a special connection with Great Ormond Street. In February 2020, after Brexit but before Covid, he fell gravely ill. He was rushed to GOSH where the heroic brain surgeons saved his life. His parents will never forget the nervous nights spent sleeping on the floor next to his bed in the neurosurgical ward, nor the kindness and expertise of the nurses, from Amy to Zoe.
Raphy has since made a full recovery, and has discovered a talent for opera. He has joined the Royal Ballet & Opera Youth Opera Company and has sung on the main stage at Covent Garden, most recently as the Young Shepherd in Tosca.
Raphy has also taken up running, and with the RBC Race for the Kids 2025 taking place just after the last night of Tosca, there is no better timing and no better cause.
RBC Race for the Kids 2025
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 me. Together, we can build it. Together, we can help beat childhood cancer.
