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

Welcome to the '18 Counties' fund-raising page

Six of us - David Lloyd, Colin Bateman, Ian Todd, Alan Dracey, Tom Bateman and Jack Bateman - are planning to cycle around the 18 first-class county cricket headquarters, a trip of more than 1,000 miles, in 16 days.

Starting on September 13, we are cycling from the Brit Oval to Lord's... the long way round. Along the way we hope to raise funds for two charities that do vital work.

We are undertaking this unique venture because of our cricket connections. David and Colin are cricket correspondents at the London Evening Standard and Daily Express respectively. Toddy, the veteran of our peloton, was the Sun's cricket man before he retired. The other three intrepid riders all love the game, too.

Because of the link with cricket we thought we should raise money for two cricket-related charities and would urge you to give to both if you can.

Here, you can support Heads Up, a research programme - under the umbrella of the Oxford Radcliffe Hospital Charitable Funds - devoted to tackling cancers of the throat and head. The Patron of Heads Up is Hugh Morris, the former Glamorgan and England batsman, who is now managing director of the England cricket team.

The other charity is the Laurie Engel Fund, which is helping the Teenage Cancer Trust to build a special unit at the Birmingham Children's Hospital for sick teenagers.

To support the Laurie Engel Fund please go to Colin Bateman's Just Giving page, the address of which is www.justgiving.com/colinbateman.

Donating through this site is simple and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Heads Up will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no extra cost to you. So please sponsor us.

Many thanks for your support - The 18 Counties Team.
