Cancer is the biggest killer of children aged one to 14 in the UK. Help build the new Children's Cancer Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital and beat cancer for more children.

Story

Our daughter was treated for cancer when she was just 14 months old, right at the start of the Covid Pandemic. She had an amazing team of nurses, doctors and specialists all involved in her care, not to mention the fantastic play team who were integral to her happiness during treatment. She has made a full recovery and is absolutely thriving, all thanks to their dedicated care. I am raising money to help support these amazing people to deliver the best possible care to the many other families who are all affected by childhood cancer.

Every year around 1,800 children in the UK are diagnosed with cancer. Research and treatments have dramatically improved survival, but cancer is still the biggest killer of children aged one to 14.

Great Ormond Street Hospital cares for children with the hardest to treat cancers. New, breakthrough treatments are giving hope to children across the UK, but these advances have outstripped GOSH’s current cancer facilities.

They need a new home for breakthrough treatments and pioneering research, so we can save more children’s lives. And because cancer shouldn't get to steal anyone's childhood, we need a place that's more than a hospital, that's a school, a playground, a garden and so much more.

Help build the future of children's cancer care and beat cancer for more children.
