Here's another example of the type of initiative that we would love to fund in the future

If you're still considering joining the Thinking of Oscar Triathlon team at this years Blenheim Palace Triathlon then don't delay in signing up as places are nearly all sold out! Don't forget we also have a limited number of relay places if you would like to compete as a team with friends or family.

Tomorrow the John Radcliffe Children's Hospital in Oxford will be starting a 6 week patient feedback survey that we have worked with the hospital to put together. The intention of the survey is to help with communication between patients, parents and medical staff. If the survey is a success then we will be looking to fund a permanent patient/parent "App" to help make communication as easy as possible. None of this would be possible without your support. The Blenheim Palace Triathlon is one of our biggest events of the years and sets the scene for what Thinking of Oscar is able to achieve.

Still not sure...... here is one of our clinical advisor Damian Roland again, talking about why he chose to get involved and what Thinking of Oscar means to him.
