EXPEDITION TO DISCOVER THE SOURCE OF THE EMS · 6 June 2010

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.

THE EXPEDITION

The aim of the Expedition is to find the source of the Mighty Emms  is known to be somewhere North of the A27 and to raise funds for The Wessex Neurological Centre Trust by sponsorship.

  
The idea for the expedition originated from a small group of regulars in The Coal Exchange  -a pleasant afternoon country walk starting at a pub ending at a pub with six on the way.  
As one of our number has been a patient at the Wessex Neurological unit it was decided to make this a sponsored walk to raise funds for the trust through its official fund raising organisation, The Smile 4Richard Appeal.
