As a collective group of cyclist enthusiasts we have set ourselves the enduring challenge to cycle 160km+ a day over 3 days from London to Paris, in aspiration to fundraise £2,000 each. The funds raised will go towards the New Children’s Cancer Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Cancer is the biggest killer of children aged five to 14 in the UK. But a child doesn’t have to die from cancer for it to take their life. It can take away their childhood, their innocence, their time spent with family, their opportunities to learn and even to have children of their own one day. As one of the leading children’s hospitals in the UK and one of the top children’s research hospitals in the world, GOSH has a long history of pioneering medical advances and breakthroughs in cancer care.

The new Children’s Cancer Centre will drive transformation in children’s cancer care and save more lives.

The Children’s Cancer Centre will offer:

• A 20% increase in capacity, offering life-changing and life-saving care for more children

• Digitally advanced inpatient wards that are tailored to children with cancer, allowing children to stay connected with their loved ones in a ‘home from home’ environment

• Increased capacity for research studies for families faced with few treatment options, with the hope to develop kinder treatments with less long-term side effects

• A new critical care unit with dedicated family breathing spaces and on-site accommodation, allowing families to stay together at the most challenging of times

• An increased focus on nutrition, physical activity and wellbeing for children with cancer, supporting their recovery and improving outcomes

• New imaging technology that better reveals what’s happening inside cancer cells and improves GOSH’s diagnostic capability

• A new hospital school, with double the capacity, for students and an outdoor garden, ensuring that children do not lose out on their childhood

• A sustainable environment with green spaces and a roof garden - helping to protect our planet for the future of all children

By supporting us on our London to Paris challenge, you’ll help to make an enormous difference to the lives of seriously ill children by helping to support this vital project at GOSH.
