Story

This page is for the sponsorship of the 'Spinnaker Stokes' Team!

This annual event has already raised over £1.5m towards the total raised by the OSCAR Campaign which now exceeds £2.7m. 25 teams compete against one other and the top six teams battle it out in a final. There is a bar, food, quayside games and activities and music to get everyone in the mood. It's an excellent networking event which attracts hundreds of people and is great fun. Most importantly, no training is required - just turn up and join in!

The OSCAR Campaign has raised over £2.7 million for Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (GOSH). Oscar was treated for two types of leukaemia from age 3 to age 8. He had two bone marrow transplants, the second trialling an entirely experimental type of T-cell transplant which was successful and which has been developed and has saved numerous children. Now 25, Oscar is a living example of the value of bench-to-bedside research and treatment.
