IT was an emotional journey for A34 crash survivor Joe Robinson to complete yesterday.

Not only would he have had the thoughts of his dead friend Grace Hadman in his mind, but also the spectre of his own survival against the odds from last April’s fatal accident. The turn-out showed just how much both Joe and Grace meant to the community.

Joe has raised more than £30,000 for the John Radcliffe Hospital. And looking at his determination, we wouldn’t bet against him reaching his £1m goal for the hospital.
