Together we can Walk it. Build it. Beat it.
By joining the Great Family Walk and fundraising this August, you’ll help us build new Children’s Cancer Centre at GOSH and help beat cancer for more children.
GOSH already cares for children with the hardest-to-treat cancers, and new treatments are giving hope to families across the UK. But these advances have outstripped GOSH’s current cancer facilities.
We need your help to build a Children’s Cancer Centre that has all the latest treatments and best equipment, but also feels bigger, brighter and a bit more fun than an ordinary hospital.
All the funds raised from The Great Family Walk will go towards the development of cancer care at Great Ormond Street Hospital. In the event that costs change, or the needs of the hospital or patients change, we reserve the right to redirect funds for use against the hospital’s most urgent needs.
