OUGSG members run OX5 for Oxford Children's Hospital
22 March 2022
Two of our Oxford University Global Surgery Group (OUGSG) members, Professor Chris Lavy and Dr Shobhana Nagraj, completed the OX5 Run on Sunday 20 March 2022 for the Children’s Centre at the John Radcliffe Hospital.
Between them they have raised over £1,000 so far for the Oxford Children's Hospital, which looks after thousands of children from across the county and beyond.
To sponsor the cause, please visit Dr Nagraj's Just Giving page.
The OX5 Run is an annual five mile fun run around the grounds of Blenheim Palace.
