Story

Having finally got the all-clear from my Doctors I'm determined to test my body to the limit!

We're going to be climbing Mt Kilimanjaro and would love for you to sponsor us to raise as much money for the Wessex Neurological Trust (where I had my neurosurgery) in the time we have available. I'd like to be able to give something back to the people that have given me my new life.

We unfortunately won't be able to keep you updated whilst we climb, but we will update this page once we find stable (and secure) internet access.

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page and your support throught the last year.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - We raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

 

UPDATE!!!! We did it! Both Gem and I made it to the top of Kilimanjaro - Uhuru's peak on Thursday 13th May 2010 (see photo for evidence!)

About the charity

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.
