Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As you know I am a sad old codger and to keep age at bay I am aiming to complete my first Triathlon aged 51. Fortunately it will be for a great cause and worth all the effort to try to get fit.

The charity is "Thinking of Oscar" set up by my good friends David and Hannah Cole who very sadly lost their son, Oscar, in 2014 to encephalitis aged 16 months. In his memory they have set up the charity to raise funds for the Paediatric Procedures Unit at Oxford's Children's Hospital. 

The charity raised over £60,000 at last year's Blenheim Triathlon and are aiming for £100,000 this year which will make a real difference to the Unit.

Your donation however small will be very welcome so thank you in advance.

Richard
