A group of Evercore colleagues will be entering this year's Royal Parks Half Marathon on the 8th of October. The event provides an opportunity to support all the great work done by Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity, who are the nominated charity for Evercore's fundraising efforts (further information on the charity below).

As a team we have set a fundraising target of £10,000. Please give generously to the team's effort!

Every day, around 750 seriously ill children and young people are seen at Great Ormond Street Hospital from all over the UK. Every day, doctors and nurses battle some of the most complex illnesses and the brightest minds in research come together to achieve pioneering medical breakthroughs.

And every day is a chance for you to make a difference. This extraordinary hospital has always depended on charitable support to give seriously ill children the best chance to fulfil their potential.

A better future for seriously ill children starts here.

£10 could pay for a genetic test that will help diagnose sick children.

£20 could pay for an hour of research time with one of their world-leading scientists.

£50 could cover the cost of one night's stay for parents in their family accommodation.
