The Baltic Exchange is once again taking part in this year's OSCAR Dragon Boat Race, entering two elite teams as part of this year's London International Shipping Week. The Baltic Exchange came in third place in 2022 so we're anticipating a hotly fought competition this year.

We've set up a single Just Giving page for both teams and we would be incredibly grateful for your support, however large or small. All donations raised will go to Great Ormand Street Hospital for Children (GOSH).

The two teams representing the Baltic Exchange this year are:

- The Blues: Mark Hubbard, Nadia Mirza, Ian Roberton, Stephen Aitchison, Christia Christofi, Isabella Kurek-Smith, Renny Symonds, James Fleck, Janet Sykes and Alexander Senior (Sykes)

- The Reds: Steffan Lewis, Mark Ma, Anthony Zavos, Robin Doran, Rashad Issa, Mark Jackson, Jakob Kristoffersen and Alfie Booth.

If you'd like to support a particular team member, please be sure to mention their name when making a donation!

The OSCAR campaign is named after Oscar Parry, son of Spinnaker Chairman Phil Parry. Oscar had two different types of leukaemia and his life was saved by experimental treatments. He had two bone marrow transplants, the first ever childhood stem cell transplant in the UK, more than 100 blood transfusions, five brain haemorrhages and five years of chemotherapy.

Thanks to the pioneering work of the bone marrow transplant team at GOSH, Oscar is now 24 and the shipping community is saving the lives of other children by supporting more and more new treatments for children with previously incurable diseases.
