On Friday the 28th September we held our very first

On Saturday 25 of our wonderful fundraisers braved the rain and completed the 5k Big Fun Run at Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham.

Joe Clarke has raised an astonishing £1,257 after he took on the Grim Reaper Ultra Marathon completing 70 miles! Joe decided he would take on this challenge after a close family friend was diagnosed with Stage 4 Soft Tissue Sarcoma that had spread from his arm to his lungs.

The Research & Teaching team came together on Wednesday 1st August to host a huge bake sale to raise money for the Eureka Appeal!

The room was filled with buyers and the cake went down a treat!

We had an amazing fun filled week celebrating the NHS 70th anniversary!

We had a week filled with exciting events, from bake sales to memory booths, and managed to raise over £800 for our charity appeals.

Some of our lovely facilities team have come together to celebrate 70 years of the NHS by donating 1000 miles through the NHS 70th birthday, through the #NHS1000Miles campaign!

5 of our staff are giving up their free time to the campaign in order to raise awareness of our charity.

They have been meeting up every week and cycling an average of 50 miles a week, in and around Birmingham!

We are in absolute awe of their support to the campaign, and even after over 20 years of NHS service between them, they are still willing to donate that little bit extra to a great cause!

Lets show them our support!

If you see them on their travels, why not take a photo and tweet us @fundROH or tag us on facebook @ROHNHSFT

We’d like to say a massive thank you to our Gung-ho fundraisers for their efforts over on Saturday. The course was tough but they got through it in style!

We all had great fun cheering them on and helping them get through the last few hurdles!

Our team manged to raise a whopping £1012.52 towards our learning disability campaign which is amazing. We can’t thank them enough!

Last week we launched our Throne Project appeal to raise money to make our patient bathrooms more dementia friendly.

This winter a long term patient Bethan has been hard at work raising money for the ROH. This young patient was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma, a primary bone cancer over 5 years ago. Bethan celebrated the start of her bone cancer remission on the 11^th of January 2018 by holding a remission party for 60 children who all paid £1 to dress up, eat cake and have a games afternoon.  To raise money for the ROH Charity, Bethan’s family have been in full swing hosting various events from a pub quiz to a Christmas fayre.
