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

INSPIRED BY THE INCREDIBLE WILL RIDGWAY AND TIM BASLER: www.justgiving.com/page/777

On June 26th 2024 I will be running a half marathon at Glastonbury Festival!!

At the heart of this challenge is to carry on the legacy of an amazing little girl Orla Tuckwell, who tragically passed away in August 2023 aged just 2 years and 8 months old after a year long battle against a rare type of paediatric brain tumour called medulloblastoma.

Throughout 10 long months of treatment Orla endured multiple operations, high-dose chemotherapy, a fight and recovery from severe sepsis and so much more, and spent the majority of her time being cared for by the amazing nurses and doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital who saved her life on three separate occasions and gave her the best chance of overcoming her medulloblastoma diagnosis. For Orla's family, the care and support received from Great Ormand Street was nothing short of incredible. Heartbreakingly, Orla's brain tumour was too aggressive and rare to be cured, but campaigns such as the Build It Beat It campaign are funding a new Cancer Centre for children and their families, and giving amazing children like Orla world-class facilities and breakthrough therapies.
