GOSHCC - London to Brighton Challenge · 12 May 2012 ·

We are Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. We stop at nothing to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. Because we believe no childhood should be lost to illness.

Story

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">On 12th May, Gosia, Ania and I will be walking the 100km London to Brighton challenge in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity (GOSH). We intend to complete the challenge within 24h, just in time to see the sunrise over the Brighton pier.&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">There will be no overnight stops, just 100km (or 62 miles) of non-stop walking. Starting in Richmond, we will walk along footpaths, bridleways and national trails; traversing the North and South Downs through the night before arriving in Brighton. To prepare for this madness, we have dusted off our gym kits,&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">created a weekly training plan including long walks on Sunday (weekend lie-ins are overrated anyways) and signed up for the Yorkshire Three Peak challenge in late April.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">So why donate...?&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Great Ormond Street Hospital offers the widest range of paediatric services under one roof in Britain for the 175,000 patient visits&nbsp;each year for the rarest and most complex conditions. GOSH is also at the forefront of paediatric training in the UK, training more children&rsquo;s nurses than any other hospital. They also play a leading role in training paediatric doctors.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Arial&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;amp;quot;; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">We hope you will be willing to keep the magic alive and help GOSH provide world-class care to hundreds of children every day.
