OX5 veteran Julia Spargo is always joined by family and friends, who dress up as bees for the run Photo: Oxford University Hospitals A SWARM of bees will take part in the Oxford Mail's annual fundraising fun run after they were recruited by a grateful mum-of-two to help Oxford Children’s Hospital. Despite the difficulties imposed by the national lockdown, Julia Spargo has already assembled a team of 20 people, who will run five kilometres while dressed up as bees. Ms Spargo, who lives in Bicester, has been running the five-mile OX5 fundraiser since just months after her daughter Beth Lee was born nine years ago.
