Liam Reeve is raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity

Suffolk Coastal Path 50k Ā· 13 September 2025

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

On 13th September I’ll strap 50lb (22.7kg) to my back and run-ruck 50 km (31 miles) along the Suffolk Coast.

Great Ormond Street Hospital treats hundreds of seriously-ill children every single day, yet the NHS doesn’t cover everything.

GOSH Children’s Charity steps in—funding redevelopment, research, medical equipment, and family accommodation—all powered by donations.

I’ve never been a patient there, but the thought of a child trading playground time for hospital corridors hits me hard. I can’t prescribe medicine, yet I can shoulder some of their burden—literally.

Every step is a statement: these kids and their families don’t walk alone.

Ā£27 could fund an hour of music therapy for a child who needs extra support during their stay.

Ā£40 could help give parents a good night’s sleep in our accommodation, while their child is in hospital.

Ā£58 could fund an hour’s research on a new gene editing based therapy to treat Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that keeps a child’s immune system from working properly.

Ā£152 could fund a Play Specialist to help reduce anxiety for a child who is scared of needles for blood tests.

Donate, share, or just cheer me on—together we’ll lighten their load and turn hospital stays into hope-filled days.
