That first event saw 1,500 runners raise \u00a3315,000. Fast forward ten years and RBC Race for the Kids has raised more than \u00a35 million for GOSH\u2019s young patients and their families. The team at the RBC Neurosciences Unit, which officially opened in Jan. 2018, now treats some of the most serious medical conditions in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The funds raised from this year\u2019s Race will go towards Royal Bank of Canada House, an accommodation block located right next to the hospital\u2019s main entrance that will be extensively renovated over the coming year. This much needed accommodation will provide families with a home away from home while their children are being treated at the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"778\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/family-participating-in-RBC-Race-for-the-Kids-in-page.jpg\" alt=\"family participating in RBC Race for the Kids\" class=\"wp-image-791\" style=\"width:778px;height:518px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/family-participating-in-RBC-Race-for-the-Kids-in-page.jpg 778w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/family-participating-in-RBC-Race-for-the-Kids-in-page.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/family-participating-in-RBC-Race-for-the-Kids-in-page.jpg?resize=768,511 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 778px) 100vw, 778px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Desir\u00e9e Clarke Noble, managing director and global head, Sustainability and Impact, RBC Capital Markets regional head, Citizenship, RBC Europe said: \u201cAt RBC, we recognise that it\u2019s not only the children at GOSH that face challenges and hardships, but families are also exposed to a huge amount of trauma. That\u2019s why projects with families in mind, such as Royal Bank of Canada House, are incredibly important to us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RBC is committed to supporting youth and communities and over the last ten years RBC and its employees have formed a special connection with GOSH. The London event is one of 17 RBC Race for the Kids fun runs globally, with over 210,000 participants taking part.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you to all of our employees, clients, suppliers and
