On Sunday 28th March I will be taking part in the OX5 Run to raise money for Oxford Hospitals Charity.  The past year has been extremely difficult for all of us working in the NHS - trying to provide the same high quality of care as well as coping with a global pandemic.  Incredibly, we've all stepped up, working longer hours than ever still with smiles on our faces.   

Throughout the year, Oxford Hospitals Charity has supported myself, my colleagues and various other departments across the hospital by providing lunches and many other forms of support - this has very much kept us going!  The Charity has also in the past funded equipment for the Microbiology department which has helped countless patients in the rapid diagnosis of meningitis 

I am most definitely not a runner but will be attempting a 5-mile run - please support me if you can :)
