Fundraising for Evelina London Children's Charity
Story
Thank you for taking the time to read my JustGiving page.
I am running the London Marathon 2024 for our beautiful neice Sophia, she is an outpatient at Evelina London Children's Hospital.
Every year more than 103,000 children and young people experience the wonderful warmth of Evelina London, which is part of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. They see first-hand the care and passion of the Evelina London team who are exploring new approaches and creating ground-breaking care for children and young people.

Why am i running the London Marathon?
As a beginner runner I want to do something which be a great challenge, running the London Marathon is definately taking me out of my comfort zone, 26.2 miles is not an easy task and too be honest, nerves are already high.
Sophia's Story.
Sophia is an outpatient of Evelina London, at 18 months old and she was diagnosed with a rare condition called GNA01. https://gnao1.org/about/.
Sophia experiences abnormal movements, as well as not being able to sit up and walk independently. In 2021 she underwent Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery at Evelina London, to help with her involuntary movements. https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/deep-brain-stimulation/about/pac-20384562
Sophia is a brave and amazing little girl, with a huge smile, which can light up any room.
How the fundraising will help
To give you an idea of the impact of your donation: £10 could help put a childs mind at ease with imaginative toys, books and games that explain what happens in hospital. £100 could help the team put together amazing rucksacks full of distraction toys for every ward and department. £350 could buy even more virtual reality sets to give to children.
