Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit the main Percy's Pals JustGiving page. We also have a team page here, which shows all the individual JustGiving pages linked to Percy's Pals.
Richard Percival
‘Percy’ was a GP doctor from Hedge End, Southampton who died in 2013, aged 47, from a stroke. He cared deeply about the welfare of others and dedicated his professional life to helping the sick. He lived in Twyford, Hampshire with his wife and two daughters and was a significant influence on his friends and the village community.
He would have wanted his name and death to be a catalyst for good in the community.
Who are Percy’s Pals?
Percy’s Pals is a fundraising group formed by Percy’s friends to do important charity work and raise money in his name. The fund operates under the umbrella of the Southampton Hospital Charity.
The Wessex Neurological ITU
The Wessex Neuro ITU is a wing of Southampton General Hospital, specialising in treating victims of stroke and brain injury from all over the south of England. Anyone suffering brain injury or stroke in the South of England is very likely to be treated there.
The Dr Richard Percival Scanner Appeal
This appeal aims to raise £250,000 to purchase a specialist portable CT brain scanner for the Wessex Neuro ITU. Without this scanner the treatment of patients admitted to the ITU could be delayed vital minutes, where the speed of treatment can be crucial to their survival and a successful recovery.
Thank you for donating and helping us achieve our target.
