Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit North's JustGiving page.

On 16 September 2014 North will be taking part in the first OSCAR Dragon Boat Race in London to raise money for lifesaving research into childhood cancers and immune diseases. The OSCAR campaign is a fundraising partnership which unites the international shipping community to raise vital funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital, and its research partner the Institute of Child Health.

The campaign is led by Phil Parry, Chairman of Spinnaker Consulting Ltd, whose son Oscar was diagnosed with leukaemia at just three years old and over five years, received three life-saving transplants at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Oscar was nominated to become the first patient ever in the UK to receive a ground-breaking stem cell transplant. He is living proof of the importance of pioneering research.

Every penny we raise through taking part in the OSCAR Dragon Boat Race will help to fund ground-breaking new research into childhood disease, so that the hospital’s researchers and clinicians can save even more lives of children facing illnesses like leukaemia.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you!
