We’re thrilled to share the amazing experience at our recent Get Active event! 🚴♂️
As Ben, Angus, and Hugh’s dad beautifully put it, “The opportunity to try new things and open their horizons is brilliant.” You’ll see they’ve collected a few medals too! 🏅
This weekend, hundreds of GOSH patients joined us for an incredible day filled with sports and activities, all designed to support their long-term recovery. The event was a unique chance for current patients with cancer and those who have completed treatment to explore a wide range of sports. ⚾
We had fantastic support from our dedicated ward staff, a huge team of volunteers, and wonderful partners from charities and local sports clubs.
Together, we created an environment where everyone could participate and enjoy activities such as climbing walls, cycling, athletics, fencing, tennis, ballet, wheelchair basketball, archery, football, cricket, and inflatable slides.
Plus, there was face painting, ice cream, and an opportunity to design a bedroom taking inspiration from our upcoming Children’s Cancer Centre.
Ayaan drew a fantastic rendition of their ideal hospital room: “It should be colourful so people can enjoy and have some motivation and believe in themselves.”
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this unforgettable day possible. Your efforts brought so much joy to the children and their families. 💙
