<p>Dear All,</p>
<p>I am running the Royal Parks Half Marathon on Sunday 9 October 2011 to raise funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity.</p>
<p>Please could you consider sponsoring me in this event?</p>
<p>All monies raised as a result of this event will go towards the current major redevelopment of two thirds of the hospital's site. Great Ormond Street Hospital ("GOSH") is battling with buildings that are nearing the end of their useful lives and must urgently be replaced. Without this redevelopment, advances in technology and treatments will not be so readily translated into real improvements in the care of sick children.</p>
<p>New facilities will allow GOSH to redesign how it works and give a better, more flexible, convenient and comfortable service for its patients and their families. GOSH will be able to treat more children and give its researchers and clinical staff the resources they need to develop new treatments. Log on to <a href="http://www.gosh.org">www.gosh.org</a> to read more about what is happening at GOSH.</p>
