Meet Jo, one of our fantastic Healthcare Assistants, whose dedication and compassion extend beyond her role at the hospital. In an inspiring effort, Jo is walking an incredible 150 kilometres this October to raise funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital and Charity (GOSH). Her goal was initially set at £150, but thanks to the overwhelming generosity of supporters, she’s already more than doubled that target, raising over £300—and she’s not done yet!
Jo’s commitment is an inspiring reminder of the extraordinary spirit that healthcare professionals bring to their work every day. By taking on this walking challenge, she’s not only raising funds but also spreading awareness for a cause that means so much to so many.
Why Great Ormond Street Hospital Needs Our Support
Every day at Great Ormond Street Hospital, around 750 seriously ill children and young people arrive from all over the UK. They come seeking hope, care, and a chance for recovery. GOSH treats some of the most complex and challenging medical cases, offering cutting-edge treatments and care that transform lives. The hospital relies heavily on charitable support to fund the pioneering work they do—every donation helps them push the boundaries of medical knowledge and provide world-class care.
The hospital’s mission is demanding, as doctors, nurses, and researchers confront life-altering illnesses and work tirelessly on groundbreaking treatments and cures. Every day, the GOSH team combines compassion with scientific innovation to make strides in pediatric healthcare, tackling some of the rarest and most complex conditions. And Jo, in her own way, is helping ensure they can keep doing so.
Join Jo in Making a Difference
As Jo says, “No amount is too small to make a difference.” Whether it’s £1, £5, or more, every donation counts and goes directly to helping the children and families who depend on GOSH’s care. With each step of her 150KM challenge, Jo is working to make a meaningful impact, and with our support, she’s well on her way to doing so.
Let’s cheer Jo on as she reaches her goal! If you’d like to help Jo on her journey to make a difference, you can donate to her fundraiser here. Together, we can help Jo support this incredible hospital and the amazing work they do every single day.
Thank you, Jo, for your kindness, your strength, and your commitment to this cause. And thank you to everyone who supports Jo’s mission to make a difference for the children and families at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Go, Jo!
