London's Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity) has launched a film to bring to life the journey patients make from hospital to home at Christmas.

The animated film features GOSH patient Mia, who was specially animated alongside her sister Amy. Both sisters were treated at the hospital years apart for the same rare condition, chronic demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Mia was just three weeks old when she was admitted to GOSH with the rare neurological condition, returning home just in time to meet her big sister on Christmas Eve.

Created by adam&eveDDB London and directed by Magnus Lenneskog through Strange Beast, the film opens with Mia falling asleep in her room at GOSH adorned with festive decorations. A magical force wheels her and other patients out of the hospital, to start their journey to return to their homes across the country. Featuring UK landmarks such as Edinburgh Castle, Angel of the North and Clevedon Pier, the film reflects that over half of seriously ill children treated at GOSH live outside London. 

“The incredible team at GOSH work tirelessly all year round to make sure as many children as possible can celebrate Christmas at home," said Charlotte Wolfenden, Managing Partner at adam&eveDDB. "We’re humbled to have helped bring to life the magical story of Mia’s journey home and hope it encourages people to support GOSH Charity this Christmas.”
