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

My Dad was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2004. It was a very difficult time for him and the family. It’s great he is doing so well, thanks to all the Head & Neck people in Oxford and support he got from his family and friends.

I am really impressed by the way my dad has got through this challenge and is now determined to look after himself so well, helping decrease the chances of it coming back. I feel I can run a marathon for him, for my family and of course for me too. It will be an individual challenge and an opportunity to raise as much money as possible to help fund research into Head and Neck cancer.

Heads Up is an Appeal under the umbrella of the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Charitable Funds that has been set up to fund research into head and neck cancers, including those of the mouth, throat and voice box www.heads-up.org.uk.

In July 2007, Heads Up was able to appoint their first Research Scientist Stephan Feller who began work at the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine close to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.

The challenge now is to keep funding that research and in time to appoint a team to work under Stephan. To meet that objective Heads Up needs to raise £80,000 over the next twelve months.

My London Marathon place has very kindly been donated by Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Charitable Funds and is a one-off - there is no guarantee of a repeat in future. Please give generously, enough to carry us through a few years.

Many thanks for your generosity, Lucy
