Camilla and Julian Cox cycled into Timaru on Monday pulling a coffin behind their tandem as part of a campaign to get the Government to increase Pharmac funding. Camilla and her husband Julian Cox had the idea in November as a way to build awareness of their campaign and get signatures to get attention. If Pharmac can't afford the drugs, the patient has to meet the "exorbitant prices" or go without, Julian Cox explained. JOHN BISSET/STUFF Some have called the coffin and Hope the skeleton macabre but the couple say it reveals and important truth. The couple have cycled through Milton, Invercargill, Lumsden, Kingston, Queenstown, Arrowtown, Cromwell, Tarras, Omarama, Kurow and Oamaru on their way to Timaru.
