FA Cup 4th Rnd - Saints v Pompey

Smile4Rich Appeal is raising money for The Wessex Neurological Centre Trust
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

The FA Cup Derby · 18 January 2005

The Wessex Neurological Centre serves a population of 3 million throughout central southern England & the Channel Islands. Having successfully raised £80,000 to provide a dedicated 'critical care' ambulance, and £145,000 to fund the creation of a Paediatric Video-Telemetry Suite (used to assess children with severe Epilepsy as to their suitability for life-changing corrective surgery), our latest appeal aims to raise a further £200,000 for our most ambitious project to date - the Fluorescence Enhanced Neurosurgery Appeal. Surgeons at the Centre perform vascular neurosurgery (to repair aneurysms, haemorrhages and the like), on hundreds of patients each year. By equipping one of the Centre's operating theatres with a new, state-of-the-art operating microscope fitted with the FL800 Fluorescence system, most of these patients will benefit. Fluorescence Enhanced Neurosurgery enables surgeons to clearly visualise blood-flow in adjacent brain tissue, reducing the possibility of either a recurrence of the bleed, or of a post-operative stroke.

Story

Rival Saints and Pompey fans looking forward to the FA Cup tie on January 29th have decided to put their money where their mouths are by making charitable pledges upon the outcome of the south coast derby game. Saints fan 'Ron' got the ball rolling by suggesting he'd donate £10 to the Smile4Rich Ambulance Appeal if Saints win the match. No sooner had he done so than his pledge was matched by a Pompey fan. Soon, several others supporters of each club had cast their predictions and made their pledges. We now await the result safe in the knowledge that, whichever team progresses to the 5th round, the ambulance appeal will be a winner!

Note - Please do NOT post your pledges here until after the result is known as pledges made before hand will be automatically collected - REGARDLESS OF THE RESULT!
