[title]Do you sprint like a superhero? Do you love a long, leisurely stroll? Join Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity) for RBC Race for the Kids 2025, the family festival and fun run, taking place on Saturday, October 11.
Set among the autumn leaves of London’s Hyde Park, this family festival is the perfect adventure for all ages and abilities. There will be music and games, performances from the Butlin's troupe of family-friendly entertainers, and lots more in store.
Sign up to confirm your spot (you’ll need to register ahead of the event to be a fun-raiser) and GOSH Charity will send you a race pack – including your race day t-shirt – in the post. And when you cross the finish line, you’ll celebrate with a medal and virtual goody bag.
Can’t get to Hyde Park on the day? No problem! You can take part in RBC Race for the Kids at Home from anywhere. Join the thousands of other participants who will be racing across the UK in their very own race days. Zoom through your neighbourhood, turn your local park into a track or explore your local country roads. However you choose to do it, wherever you choose to do it.
Over the last 15 years, RBC Race for the Kids has raised more than £11 million for seriously ill children and their families at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). This year, the charity hopes to raise over £1 million to help build the new Children’s Cancer Centre at GOSH and save more children’s lives.
How will your support help? Research and treatments have dramatically improved survival, but cancer is still the biggest killer of children aged one to 14 in the UK. GOSH already cares for children with the hardest-to-treat cancers, and new treatments are giving hope to children and families. But these advances have outstripped GOSH’s current cancer facilities.
GOSH needs a new home for breakthrough treatments and child-centred care. And because no childhood should be lost to cancer, the world-leading Children’s Cancer Centre will be a place that's not just a hospital: it’s a school, a playground, a garden, and so much more.
This centre will be a place for kids to access learn and play opportunities, alongside pioneering treatments. It’ll be where families can stay together through some of the hardest moments, and where access to outdoor space is a priority to help fuel recovery.
GOSH has a team of dedicated doctors and nurses who are specialists in the most complex childhood cancers. And architects and builders can make this vision of a safe haven a reality. But it’s fundraisers like you that really help make it all happen.
