Story
Thank you for visiting our JustGiving page..
What started out as wanting to have a bonding event as team members of our company, which usually results in dinner or bowling, we decided to take on the 25 km Bridges Trek on Saturday 8th September 2018 and also raise money for a charity. Competing against our colleagues and a team of Directors seemed too good to pass up!
We have chosen The Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. GOSH does exceptional work and this is a fantastic opportunity to raise money for such a great cause. It is a charity set up for children who are angels facing challenges to their health. It is our duty to protect and nurture these angels and give them an opportunity for the future.
This charity is also very dear to a member of our team, whose nephew suffers from a rare condition and has had ongoing treatment for the past 12 years. The family have first-hand positive experience with GOSH.
The hospital does tremendous work and your donation will only take GOSH that extra mile and bring a smile to a child’s face.
About Great Ormond Street Hospital.
The hospital has relied on charitable support since it first opened in 1852. While the NHS meets the day-to-day running costs of the hospital, the fundraising income allows GOSH to remain at the forefront of child healthcare.
- Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH) needs to raise about £100 million every year to help rebuild and refurbish GOSH, buy vital equipment, support pioneering research and fund important patient, family and staff support projects, to ensure every child at GOSH receives the world-class care they deserve.·
- GOSH has 63 clinical specialties – the UK’s widest range of health services for children on one site. ·
- 40 per cent of our patients are under four years old.
- GOSH receives more than 295,000 patient visits every year
- GOSH is one of the largest heart transplant centres for children in the world and the largest in Europe for children with cancer.
- GOSH carries out about 60 per cent of all UK operations for children with epilepsy.
Thank you for your kind and generous support.
