A step for every child with a life-limiting condition in the UK.

16-22 June 2025 

With every step, wheel, jump, or even dance, you can pave the way to make a difference for the 99,000 children in the UK living with a life-limiting condition.

In the UK, there are 53 children's hospices dedicated to caring for seriously ill children and their families. They are amazing places, but what would life be like without them? At the moment, there simply isn’t enough money or staff to provide all the lifeline care seriously ill children need during their short lives.

This Children’s Hospice Week, take on the challenge of completing 99,000 steps in a week to keep these vital services running for families today, tomorrow, and in the future.

Every step counts for families like Gaby's

Gabby running along the decking on holiday
Evita’s daughter Gaby was born with half a heart – a rare condition called hypoplastic left heart syndrome. There is no cure, so her family make the most of every day they have with her.

Derian House has become a lifeline for the family. Their weekly playgroup sessions have given Gaby a chance to make friends with other children, and for Evita, Derian House provides her with a chance to relax, knowing her daughter is safe and having fun.

The family can’t travel abroad, so a free week’s holiday at the hospice’s Lake District lodge meant the world. They spent the time making lasting memories, celebrating Gaby’s brother’s birthday, and simply enjoying being together.

 “Gaby may have been born with only half a heart, but we are filling it with the most amount of love a heart can hold.”

Children's hospices are always there for families like Gaby's when they need them, no matter what. Complete the 99,000 Steps Challenge so that children’s hospices like Derian House can continue to be there for families like Gaby’s.
