I'm joining the race to help beat childhood cancer

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

RBC Race for the Kids 2025

When he was just a few months old, our son was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. It's hard to describe the horror and despair we felt at receiving this news. GOSH came to the rescue, treating him with bone marrow transplants in a process that lasted over a year. It was a gruelling journey, but through the expertise of the doctors and tireless care of the nurses and other support staff, he came through. This year we are celebrating an important birthday, and another BMT anniversary- every one of these has been special. Without GOSH and their amazing care and support, things could have been so different. This run is to give a very little back to a place that has given us so much.
