S4R Half Marathon

Smile4Rich Appeal is raising money for The Wessex Neurological Centre Trust

Participants: 'Widley Chimes' & Friends

Donations cannot currently be made to this page

S4R Half Marathon · 15 October 2004

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

Fresh from running the 'Great South Run' for other local causes, WC and friends have decided to run the 13.1 miles from 'The George' at Widley, nr Portsmouth, to 'The Old Ship' at Swanwick, Southampton, in aid of Smile4Rich. Big-hearted, or merely gluttons for punishment - whichever way you look at it, you can pledge your support for their efforts here so please give generously. If you would like to join them on Sunday 28th November, then please contact Smile4Rich by emailing info@smile4rich.co.uk

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor someone as Smile4Rich will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

If your donation relates to an individual participant then please add their name in the comment box.

Thank you for your support and keep smiling!
