Story

🌟 Help Dave and Josh Make Waves for Great Ormond Street Hospital! 🌟

On June 17, 2024, two brothers from Devon, Dave and Josh, are embarking on an awe-inspiring journey across the English Channel. But this isn't just any ordinary paddleboarding adventure – they're aiming to set the first official Guinness World Record for the fastest crossing of the English Channel by stand-up paddleboard!

Their motivation runs deep. Dave's journey with Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) began at just two days old when he was rushed to their care for a life-saving procedure called "Transposition of the Great Arteries." This groundbreaking 18-hour operation, which gave him only a 17% chance of survival, marked the beginning of Dave's miraculous journey. Since then, he has flourished under the watchful eye of GOSH, with yearly check-ups ensuring his continued health and vitality.

But Dave's connection to GOSH doesn't end there. His son also receives care from this remarkable hospital, having endured years of unexplained fevers before the identification of a rare gene mutation. Through it all, GOSH has provided unwavering support and expertise, giving Dave's family hope and healing in their most challenging moments.

Now, Dave and Josh are giving back to the hospital that has given them so much. Their goal is to raise £2,000 in support of GOSH, ensuring that other children and families facing similar challenges receive the same exceptional care and support that they did.

Every paddle stroke across the Channel symbolizes resilience, gratitude, and the power of community coming together for a common cause. By supporting Dave and Josh's charity paddleboarding event, you're not just helping them set a world record – you're helping to save and transform lives at GOSH.

Join us in making a splash for GOSH! Your generous donation will make a world of difference to children in need.
