10 Mile Sponsored 'Winter' Walk

Smile4Rich Appeal is raising money for The Wessex Neurological Centre Trust

Participants: Anne, Steve & Annie

Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Winter Walk · 18 October 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

After the excesses of the 'festive' season, what better way to blow away the cobwebs and burn off those Christmas calories than with a pleasant walk in the countryside?

Well for many people that may be reason enough to walk 10 miles, but we've got an even better one - raising funds for the Smile4Rich Appeal. And knowing that every penny we raise will be helping to equip the Wessex Neuro Centre with the tools they need to transform the lives of children with severe Epilepsy will make every step a little easier.

Our walk will start from Salisbury Leisure Centre and follow a route via Old Sarum and the Woodford Valley to Upper Woodford. From here we shall cross the River Avon and follow it's path back to Salisbury, finishing back at the Leisure Centre. Please be generous in your support, and if you would like to join us and help raise even more money for this fantastic cause then please contact Neil Westbrook, the Appeal Co-ordinator, at 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.
