We are Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. We stop at nothing to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. Because we believe no childhood should be lost to illness.

Story

 

Hey guys, thanks for taking an interest in my cause. I'm planning to raise money for Great Ormond Street hospital Children's Charity. My cousin has been a patient at Great Ormand Street Hospital for his whole life and if it weren't for them he wouldn't be with us today. Please give a small donation and help other children like my cousin.

Lucas was born 9 weeks early weighing just 920g and 32cms long. The first six months of his life in GOSH consisted of 8 operations to fix his bowl and various heart operations, including one where his aorta had developed a loop around his windpipe and oesophagus and was strangling him! He went home on oxygen and slowly grew stronger. However, when he was almost 2 1/2 years old, he was diagnosed with cancer of the liver, one of the rarest forms of cancer in children. GOSH was there for him again and treated him with chaemotheropy. He was lucky enough to receive a donor liver transplant just in time to save his life. He has had a few more smaller operations since so has notched up a total of 17! GOSH really have saved his life and continue to help him and thousands of others like him every day.

Thank you.
