Ollie's Story

8-year old Ollie bravely took on a grueling triathlon with his friends to raise money for King's College Hospital Charity.

After becoming unwell in December 2020, Ollie has been a regular patient at the Toni & Guy children's ward of King's College Hospital. To show his gratitude for the brilliant care he's received, Ollie decided to take on a triathlon to raise money for King's.
 


The swimming part was particularly challenging for Ollie as he suffers from breathing problems - but he bravely pushed himself, completing the challenge and raising over £910 for the hospital. 

 



The money will go to providing better children's entertainment for the Toni & Guy children’s ward, as well as to the respiratory team, who have shown him incredible care. 

“Swam 1k (which was so difficult) cycled 2k (the easiest), ran 2k and then I cried and fell to the floor. Thank you so much for all the donations. It's going to a great cause."
