Mini Great South Run 2006 · 14 June 2006

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

Hello!

My name is Lewis Hine and I am 5 Years old. On October 21st 2006 over 40 children aged 8 and under will be taking to the streets of Southsea, Portsmouth to complete the Mini Great South Run. Not only will they be taking on the 3/4 of a mile challenge but they will also be doing it in Fancy Dress!!! Yes 40 little superheros will be running to raise money for the Charity "Smile4Rich".

 So why have I organised this event? Well....4 years ago I was diagnosed with a brain tumor and I also suffer from Hydrocephalus (water on the brain). The only reason I am here today is because of the amazing treatment I received at the Childrens Neurosurgery Ward, at the Wessex Neurological Centre, at Southampton General Hospital. The Doctors and Nurses there are fantastic and I want to help them help other children, So I continually fundraise for them and have set up Lewis' Mini Superheroes!!!

I am a very lucky person and have fantastic friends and family who support me and are all joining in on this big fundraiser. This is our fundrsising page everyone of us is a true superhero so please dig deep and support us!!!

 Together we are raising money for the Smile4Rich Video Telemetry Appeal. The new Video Telemetry Suite will help children who suffer from Epilepsy and will dramatically change the lifes of around 40 children a year!!
