Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity’s Post

“GOSH gives hope where there is none.” Oscar, former GOSH patient. Oscar was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of leukaemia when he was just three years old. Over the next few years, Oscar was treated at Great Ormond Street Hospital but sadly relapsed on the day he was due to be officially discharged. The next step was to receive a groundbreaking T-cell transplant. We’re so pleased to share that six months later, Oscar walked out of the hospital doors cancer-free. Now in his 20s, Oscar and his dad Phil wanted to do something to give back to GOSH so they set up the OSCAR Dragon Boat Race. This year marked 10 years of the event and nearly £4 million raised! In that time, they’ve helped to fund vital research into childhood cancers and are now helping to build the new Children’s Cancer Centre. Please join us in thanking Oscar and his dad for their incredible support over the past decade.
