The Walkie-Talkie Tower Climb, hosted by Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity), is back on Saturday, 8 March. Sprint, run or walk up 20 Fenchurch Street (the Walkie-Talkie), one of London's iconic landmarks, to raise vital funds to help seriously ill children have healthier, happier, and longer childhoods.

If you decide to sign up, you'll be asked to raise £250 in sponsorship, with every penny going towards GOSH Charity. The funds you raise could help support groundbreaking research, state-of-the-art medical equipment, the refurbishment of child-focused facilities, and essential services for children and their families. Aside from being able to scale one of London's iconic landmarks, you'll be helping to fund life-changing work that benefits countless families. 

You'll get to enjoy panoramic views of London's epic skyline throughout your climb, and your finish line is in the Sky Garden — a lush, plant-filled sanctuary with 360-degree, floor-to-ceiling windows. It's actually the highest public garden in the capital. Once you reach the top, you'll be awarded a medal and a celebratory drink, with more food and drinks available to purchase from the Sky Garden's restaurants and bars.
