Shipping shows its heart, closing in on £2 million raised for new treatments for seriously ill children
06/08/2019

The international shipping industry is close to achieving a remarkable milestone by raising £2 million ($2.5m) to support research into new treatments for cancer and immune system problems at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) in London.

The OSCAR Campaign at Great Ormond Street Hospital was named after Oscar Parry, the son of Phil Parry – chairman and founder at maritime people experts, Spinnaker – after Oscar received life-saving care from GOSH at an early age.

The core of the funding has come from the generous support of the international shipping industry, culminating each year in the OSCAR Dragon Boat Race, this year held as part of London International Shipping Week – on Friday, September 13th – with sponsor opportunities still available.
