AAH Winter Fundraiser for G.O.S.H & ACLT

All About House (AAH) presents the winter fundraiser for G.O.S.H and ACLT. A great day for House music and celebrating for a good cause.

History
Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) was founded by Dr Charles West, who was driven by the shockingly high level of infant mortality in the capital. It was the first hospital in the UK dedicated solely to the treatment of children.

The hospital itself Old Great Ormond Street Building
GOSH started life in a 17th century townhouse with just 10 beds and two physicians. Since then, the hospital has been in a constant state of redevelopment to update ageing wards which have become unsuitable for the treatment of seriously ill children.

GOSH has been supported by many notable individuals, including JM Barrie (who donated the rights of Peter Pan to the hospital in 1929), Charles Dickens, Queen Victoria and Diana Princess of Wales.

The ACLT was established in June 1996 by Beverley De-Gale and Orin Lewis, the parents of Daniel 'Playzo' De-Gale. When the charity was initially set up, Daniel had already been suffering from Leukaemia for 3 years. Daniel's parents were informed that his only hope of survival was to receive a bone marrow transplant. Due to the fact that bone marrow contains racially specific characteristics, the compatible donor for Daniel could only be found within the black or mixed race population. At the time when the shattering news was revealed, there were just 550 black or mixed race people on the UK bone marrow registers. The Consultant at Great Ormond Street Hospital who was responsible for Daniel informed the parents that there was just an approx. 1 in 250,000 chance of Daniel finding a compatible donor

Daniel De-Gale is our inspiration

Daniel finally won his battle against Leukaemia when on 16th June 1999 at the age of 12 he received a bone marrow transplant from an unrelated American donor, Doreene Carney, at Great Ormond Street Hospital. This enabled Daniel to live a full and fruitful life including successfully passing his exams at school and University

Daniel was in full remission and free of Cancer, but due to complications with his health that led to multiple organ failure he died aged 21 on the 8th October 2008 in hospital surrounded by his family.

And now All About House will be supporting both Charities on this day to help raise money to continue to help others with serious illnesses.

All we ask for £5 donation to come join us party during the day celebrating the good cause that can benefit other peoples lives.
