Story

On 7th April 2024, Izzy Gibson and I will be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon for Great Ormond Street Hospital and in memory of our dear friend, Emma. 

We lost Emma on 30th May 2014 after her brave battle with a rare illness called Churg Strauss Syndrome (a form of vasculitis). Great Ormond Street Hospital played a crucial role in her journey. During Emma’s 102 days at GOSH, the incredible teams of surgeons, doctors and nurses worked tirelessly to give her the chance of returning to a normal life. 

Any donation - however big or small - will be hugely appreciated, as this will go towards helping seriously ill children, incredible research at GOSH, advanced equipment and support services.

Thank you so much in advance.
