Oliver Connell & Son Ltd organised the 90 mile Charity Cycle Ride, from Oxford to Cambridge, The OC Way, in remembrance of the late Oliver Connell who founded the business in 1974.

Co. Westmeath native, Oliver, who sadly passed away in March 2020 was a double-recipient of donor kidneys and it was deemed fitting to support the charity which originally supported him. The “West London Kidney Patients’ Association” is a charity run by volunteers who are either kidney patients, their families, friends or carers with the support of the Imperial College Renal and Transplant Centre. They are based in the Hammersmith Hospital in Du Cane Road.

Oliver’s brother Pat, provided his kidney for the initial transplant and this kidney lasted for almost forty years. The second liver transplant was received from a non-related donor.

Our most sincere appreciation goes to the members of our supply chain and staff members, and their friends and families, who generously sponsored us. To date £70,000 has been raised and equally distributed between the two charities.
