For over 150 years, Great Ormond Street Hospital has been treating sick children and pushing forward the boundaries of child health care. Today, there are 314 beds, including 30 intensive care beds, 35 wards and more than 2,700 staff. The hospital treats over 90,000 sick children every year from across the British Isles, including up to 70 every year from the Channel Islands.

Guernsey & GOSH
Great Ormond Street Hospital has a special relationship with Guernsey, being one of only three paediatric centres that Guernsey and other Channel Island children are referred to. An average of 25 Guernsey patients are referred to Great Ormond Street Hospital every year. These children have complex and sometimes life-threatening conditions that need the Hospital's specialised care.

This appeal aims to help all of these children and parents who have to endure the further stresses of travelling and finding accommodation on top of their treatment, by helping to build and furnish a 'Guernsey Floor' in Great Ormond Street Hospital's `Patient Hotel'.

The Polar Race 2005 is a race from Resolute Bay in Nanavut (the former North West Territories) to the Magnetic North Pole. The teams will walk or ski over 400 miles in temperatures as low as -40 degrees centigrade pulling a 70-kilo sledge. This race over some of the most inhospitable terrain in the world, for the "Wedgwood Blue Ice Trophy" starts in April 2005 and is for 2, 3 or 4 man teams. The winner is the team that "posts" the shortest accumulated time over the four legs. All entrants are given the same standard equipment and provisions which they must haul on a sledge behind then on foot or ski.
