Raising money for The Wessex Neurological Centre Trust

Charity Registration No. 286277

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.

Last July I underwent surgery at neurological centre, to remove a massive brain tumour which had spread to my skull and optic nerve. In the 8 hour operation the surgeons removed part of my skull and early indications show the majority if not all of the tumour has been removed. Thanks to ground breaking technology and care from staff at the WNC, I am now looking forward to a future with my husband and 2 young sons!

‘Just Walk’ at Goodwood is a 10km charity walk that my husband Robb and I are participating in on 15 May 2010, to try and give a little back to the unit to say thank you for all they have done for me.

We would both really appreciate your support, please click on the link below if you would like to sponsor us and raise money for this life changing unit.

Many Thanks,

Gemma
