About 8 years ago one of my sons was born with a serious genetic problem, and had numerous operations at the John Radcliffe in Oxford, without them he would not be here today, as a way of saying thank you for all the help they gave my son, I have the opportunity to raise some funds for them.

I'm taking part in the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Charitable Funds - Abseil for Oxford Children's Hospital (and Fund for Children) on 19th September 2010 to raise money for Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Charitable Funds and I'd really appreciate your support. The abseil is 100 feet down the side of the Women's Centre at the John Radcliffe Hospital.

It's easy to donate online with a credit or debit card - just go to my JustGiving page:

http://www.justgiving.com/iamcolinbell

JustGiving sends your donation straight to Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Charitable Funds and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you're a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more. I hope you'll join me in supporting Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Charitable Funds.

Also by donating via this web page means I don’t have to come and see you for the money, and the hospital knowing they are getting it.


Thank you.

Colin Bell.
