Your support will make a difference to patients and staff across our local hospitals. Thank you so much for taking on a challenge to raise funds - with your help we are able to transform our hospitals, creating warm and welcoming environments for patients young and old, equipped with the latest specialist medical equipment. We also fund research and improvements for our hospital staff, including specialist training. Thank you so much for supporting Oxford Hospitals Charity, in particular the NMO charitable funds.

As many of you know as I love to tell you in great depth, I am a postdoctoral researcher based at the John Radcliffe in Oxford where I am responsible (together with Dr Paddy Waters) for the running of the NMO/MOG diagnostic assay service. I am very passionate about providing the best assay service not only in the UK but the World as we accept samples from not just within the UK. I treat every sample as urgent and understand the importance each result has in helping to diagnose NMO patients where I am a small part of a big Clinical NMO team here in Oxford (Lead by Drs Jackie Palace and Isabel Leite) and Liverpool (Dr Anu Jacob) which care for NMO patients in the UK.   

Every year I walked passed the signs advertising the Big Abseil and said to myself next year. Well this is the year I am going to do the 100ft Abseil! Please help support me and a big thank you!
