This year marks Amelie Dodah’s (year 6) 9th time participating in Race for the Kids to support her older sister, Mela, who has been under the care of Great Ormond Street Hospital since she was just a few weeks old. The hospital continues to provide her with the care she needs. Since those early days, the family has wanted to give something back and help support other children and families facing similar challenges. Over the years, Amelie’s family have raised a total of £19,000, with £2,500 raised this year alone—all in gratitude for the incredible support they have received and to help other children receive the same life-changing care. Mela’s article was also featured in This Week Juniors, along with a family photo.
