How your support will help children with cancer

This year, we hope to raise over £1 million through RBC Race for the Kids to help build the new Children's Cancer Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).

GOSH already cares for children with the hardest to treat cancers, and new treatments are giving hope to children and their families. But these advances have outstripped GOSH's current cancer facilities.

We 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 – a place that's a school, a playground, a garden, and so much more.

That's why we're building a world-leading, child focused Children's Cancer Centre, where more children can have the best chance and the best childhood possible.

Together, we can build it. Together, we can help beat childhood cancer.
