VHR are excited and proud to be running in the London Santa Dash this weekend for charity: in aid of supporting and raising money for children spending Christmas in Great Ormond Street Hospital.

This weekend the festive fun run returns to Clapham Common for another leg of the London Santa Dash.

London Santa Dash is in aid of helping make childrens experience at Great Ormond Street hospital (GOSH) as stress-free as possible around the Christmas period.

Every Christmas Great Ormond Street hospital faces new challenges, with 618 seriously ill children from across the UK needing GOSH for life-saving treatments.

The London Santa Dash raises money for the families, patients and staff that have to balance the everyday struggle of complex illnesses.

Join the London Santa Dash alongside VHR this weekend in Clapham Common to make an amazing difference to children spending Christmas in hospital.

The amazing event sees 4000 Santas return for a third year running around Clapham Common.

Everyone is welcome to either dash, jog, walk or run the 5k or 10k route - sign up here to get your plane on the starting line.

Not only will VHR’s team be running in a Santas outfit and earn a finishers medal, but VHR are also contributing to providing activities to aid children’s treatment, recovery and understanding of their illness as well as making children’s experience of being in hospital at Christmas as special as possible.
