Story

This page is for the sponsorship of the UK Club & Thomas Miller Teams in the 2024 OSCAR Dragon Boat Race. Thank you for getting this far!

We're absolutely delighted to be taking part in this annual event, which has already raised over £1.5m towards the £2.7m raised by the OSCAR Campaign. The aim is to break through £3m this year.

WE'RE FUNDRAISING TO… support treatments and research within the bone marrow specialism at Great Ormond Street Hospiptal for Children (GOSH).

The Campaign is named after Oscar Parry, son of Spinnaker Chairman Phil Parry. Oscar received life-saving care from GOSH between the ages of 3 and 8. He endured two forms of leukemia, two bone marrow transplants, the first ever childhood mesenchymal stem cell transplant in the UK, over 100 blood transfusions, five brain hemorrhages and five years of chemotherapy. Thanks to the pioneering work of the bone marrow transplant team at GOSH, Oscar is now 25, and the shipping community is saving the lives of other children by supporting more and more new treatments for children with previously incurable diseases.

THE EVENT takes place in London's Docklands every September and pits 25+ teams from the shipping industry against one other and the top six teams battle it out in a final.

We would really appreciate any support you can give us.
