42K for GOSH

Sam Weston has previously taken on big fitness challenges, including a 90km walk for Great Ormand Street Hospital (GOSH) but he is aiming to take his fundraising for this amazing cause to a whole new level r with a marathon as part of his weight loss and fitness journey.

Currently around 20 stone he started running for the first time in September 2025 and says he wants to prove you can go from couch not to 5k but to 42k.

With both a 3 year old and a 7 week old, his commitment to supporting GOSH’s work is very meaningful.

Childhood is special. It should be a time of joy, wonder, curiosity and fun. Of making friends, making mistakes, and growing into the adults we become. But it’s also fragile, and sometimes all too brief.That’s why the Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity raises funds to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. For the children from all over the UK who are treated by Great Ormond Street Hospital every day, for children with rare or complex illnesses everywhere, for this generation and all those to come. Because no childhood should be lost to serious illness.

Sam is taking part in the 2026 TCS London Marathon for TeamGOSH, and by sponsoring him, you’re helping to give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhood possible. Thank you!
