Raising money for

Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Charitable Funds

Charity Registration No. 1057295

The Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals (ORH) Charitable Funds is the umbrella charity for over 700 funds supporting projects across the ORH NHS Trust that enhance services and facilities for patients and staff. These range from support for particular wards, at the John Radcliffe, Churchill and Horton Hospitals, to larger fundraising campaigns to support major developments such as the new Oxford Cancer Centre, the Oxford Children's Hospital, the Geratology Appeal and the Oxford Heart Centre expansion. As one of the foremost teaching trusts in the UK, the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals enjoy a national and international reputation in fields such as cancer and cranio-facial surgery. Please give generously - your support enables us to provide the best possible healthcare in the best possible setting, to a standard far higher than the NHS alone would be able to afford.

My story

On September 6^th Barry Hughes, Managing Director of Therapy Films, Pat Joseph, Chief Creative Officer of The Mill and Miles Pettit, Producer at The Mill London, embark on a great challenge; cycling the entire length of Britain from Lands End, the most south-westerly point, to John O’Groats, the most north easterly point of the British Isles.

Over two weeks they will cycle over 1000 miles and climb over 35,000 feet (more than the height of Everest). They will have muscle ache, chafing, numb hands, battle head on winds and somewhere in the middle of this desperate challenge Miles must get to a wedding on the Isle of Man.

This September marks 25 years since Pat was diagnosed with AML (Acute Myeloid Leukaemia). As part of a clinical trial he was incredibly fortunate to be one of the first few patients to survive the then pioneering Bone Marrow Transplant procedure. It was only down to the research, that was in its infancy at the time, his brother Richards bone marrow and the dedication of the staff at the John Radcliff Hospital in Oxford that he survived.

Since then, the survival rate for adult Leukaemia sufferers has increased but as with all Cancers, more funding for research is badly needed.

By cycling from Lands End to John O’Groats, Pat, Barry and Miles will be raising money for the Oxford John Radcliffe Hospital, where Pat was treated 25 years ago. All donations will be going to their Haematology Research Fund.

We’re aiming to raise a minimum of £30,000. This is a big target, especially in these difficult economic times, but your contribution will help continue the all important research that is saving leukaemia sufferers lives.

Please dig deep and give what you can!

Thanks

Pat, Miles and Barry
