GOSHCC Kilimanjaro trek 2015 · 12 February 2015 to 22 February 2015 ·

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

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. It may sound like a crazy idea to many people but I really couldn't think of a better way to raise money and do something that I would never forget for charity. I decided to sign up to the Kilimanjaro Trek to challenge and push myself to the extreme in order to do something worthwhile and for a really good cause. Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest free standing mountain in the world at 19,341ft and the highest mountain in Africa.

So why GOSH?

I believe that everyone should have fun in life and be able to experience as much as they can, so for me the Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) was a charity I wanted to raise money for. No child should ever have to suffer and with the correct support and care GOSH helps them by giving them the vital treatment and support that they need in order to get better.

 It is vital that GOSH is able to raise the money for new research and treatments for these children in order to give them the best start in life. We never know in this life when maybe a family member, friend or even yourself may need to call on the help of this amazing charity, and the more we can do for it now the further it will be able to come along in the future!!

What will the money raised go towards?

The money raised by the GOSH Kilimanjaro Trek 2015 is going towards helping children with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). It will be funding new research into the best Physiotherapy and Exercises to help these children with this terrible condition.

I may not have spoken or even know a lot of you kind and lovely people that I am going to approach over the next couple of months but any help at all would be appreciated and I would be over the moon if you would be able to make a donation. Even if it means having to sacrifice that well needed drink or chocolate bar you would be helping to make a difference to the lives of young children.

Thank you for taking the time to visit this page and I hope you are able to help me!!
