Story
Who are we?
We are a trio of friends who wish to raise awareness of blood cancer & ultimately increase the number of stem cell donors on the register, all the while raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). We wish to support GOSH so that they may continue to provide world-class care to the little soldiers who fight a daily battle.
Who is Milan Singh?
There is a little superhero called Milan Singh who prompted this movement ‘Happy to Help’.
When Milan was just three, Doctors found cancerous tumours in his abdomen. With the doctors & Milan's amazing bravery, he successfully fought off the condition and was back to living a normal, mischievous life. However, Milan has recently been diagnosed with AML Leukaemia (a form of blood cancer). He is now awaiting a match for a bone marrow transplant. Many other children are in the same predicament.
Who are we running for/ How are we going to raise?
We are running for Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) where Milan has been treated & looked after throughout his battle with blood cancer. The majority of the patients at GOSH are under the age of 2 and some have been admitted there since birth. The funding #TeamMilanSingh at Happy to Help are raising is to be used to support the purchase of medical equipment so that the patients at GOSH can continue to receive a high quality service to win their battles.
On 7th September 2014 we are running in the Spartan Race (Sprint) which involves over 5km of running and 15 obstacles including wall climbs, barbed wire crawls, rope climbs, fire jumps and lots and lots of mud! Spartan races prove to be a physical and mental challenge for even the toughest of athletes; wish us three average Joes well by making a donation today!

How can you help?
DONATE – If the money we raise helps one child or can ease the pain of one parent, that money is well spent.
