In May 2024 our Son George was diagnosed with an exceptionally rare lymphatic disease. Only 6 children in the UK have this condition and they’re cared for by GOSH.

George has had multiple hospital visits over the last two years, involving X-rays, ultrasounds, blood tests, biopsies and finally surgery in May to remove naughty glands in his neck. He remains one the bravest children a Mummy and Daddy could wish for. George has humbled us by his bravery and never once question why we have been putting him through ongoing test and painful procedures, his trust in us frequently brings us to tears.

The thought of a life without George is unfathomable but we remain optimistic of his condition. As long as we continue with regular trips to GOSH until he's 18 and then regular NHS facilities thereafter, he stands a strong chance of being unaffected. However, none of this would be possible without the exceptional medical team and facilities at GOSH.

Unfortunately the grave reality is that many children will lose their lives at GOSH having been admitted for treatment, including my Friend's beautiful 6 year old Son, Hugh Menai-Davis, who lost his battle with lymphatic cancer and sadly passed away in 2021.

So please support my (James) fitness challenge to raise funds for this truly remarkable children's hospital. A donation of ANY amount will go a long way towards supporting thousands of children requiring treatment for serious illnesses.

My Challenge

HYROX racing “runs” in the family so this November 30th I'm competing in my first Men’s Open race at HYROX LONDON at the ExCel Centre.

Whilst I will complete the race, I wanted to set a target time of 1hr 20 mins. I will only achieve this through training 5 days a week. I write this because I want you to know how much effort I am putting in to your generous donation and how much it means to Kate and I.

A very special thank you Kate's sponsor My Protein for gifting me a spot in this competition which sold out via ballot within days.

Please do join me on the day as a spectator, tickets are available online approx. £15.00pp. My family will be there and I'll most definitely share a cold one with you afterwards.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your donation of any amount.
