How your fundraising will help beat childhood cancer

Cancer doesn't care about childhood. It doesn't care what seriously ill kids miss out on, like trips to the seaside or playing in the park with their friends.

But we do. 

Despite great progress in treatments and cures, cancer is still the biggest killer of children aged one to 14 in the UK and around 1,900 children are diagnosed every year.*

At GOSH Charity, we know that when cancer hits, childhood suffers. That's why we're building the new, world-leading Children's Cancer Centre at GOSH.

With cutting-edge facilities and an environment where pioneering research can thrive, this centre will be a beacon of hope for families facing the unimaginable. And because cancer shouldn’t get to steal anyone’s childhood, it will be more than a hospital building. It will be a school, a playground, a garden and a home-from-home.

Take on RBC Race for the Kids and join our team of doctors, builders, nurses, researchers and many more helping to build the Children's Cancer Centre – so we can give more kids with cancer the best chance and the best childhood possible.

Be part of it.

Run, walk, wheel or scoot to help build the new Children’s Cancer Centre at GOSH and save more lives. Together, we can build it. Together, we can help beat childhood cancer.

Charlotte's story

At just four years old, Charlotte was diagnosed with a brain tumour and transferred to Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) for treatment. Now eight, she’s back at home with her family and has returned to school.  

Following surgery at GOSH to remove the tumour, a routine MRI showed that it had returned. Although the tumour was benign, the only option was chemotherapy, as it was too close to her brain stem to operate.

Charlotte began an 18-month treatment course, but thanks to stable scans, the programme ended two months early. Today, she’s doing well and returns to GOSH every six months. 

"GOSH has become an extension of our lives," Charlotte’s mum, Clare, says. "It's been a surreal two years. 

"We signed up for RBC Race for the Kids in 2022 because we were very keen to give back to GOSH. We had a really good time, so we decided it was something we'd do every year! It’s a lovely day.” 

Read Charlotte’s full story.

Join RBC Race for the Kids to help build the new Children’s Cancer Centre at GOSH and help more children like Charlotte.
