The Little Magpie Fund was launched to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children by Eva and Obi Asika, in memory of their son, Magnus Asika.

Little Magnus was an in-patient at Great Ormond Street Hospital for most of his life, having been born with a rare heart condition. In July 2022 Magnus tragically lost his battle and passed away aged 9 months. The Little Magpie Fund is committed to fundraise for a vital new unit at GOSH for the longer-term, seriously ill patients, like Magnus.
