North Raises £5,000 for OSCAR Campaign
On Friday 16 September 2016, Team North took part in the OSCAR Dragon Boat Race 2016 to help raise funds for areas of urgent need at Great Ormond Street Hospital and its research partner, the UCL Institute of Child Health.
Team North came out overall winners of the event, beating tough competition from 19 other participating teams. The winning team (pictures below) consisted of Anthony Staples (IMO), David Swash, Sachin Shanbhag, Craig Robinson, Duncan Ealand (CJC), Paul Sowerby, Julian Bray (Tradewinds), Dimitrios Papadimitriou, Adele Lathan, Joseph Ackland (Swire Bulk), Daniel Mayne and Lesley Marshall.
We would like to thank everyone for their generous donations and support to the OSCAR Campaign which helped us raise over £5,000. The event raised over £124,000 and every penny will go towards pioneering research that will provide better treatments for the most serious childhood illnesses.
