We are delighted to be raising money to help Southmead Hospital fund a new Robotic Digital Microscope which will be amongst the first 'futuristic scopes' to be used in Europe!  This would have been used during Steve’s operation had they been lucky enough to have had it last year.  

Our challenge is to both complete a 5k every day in May.  Most will be jogged or run, some may be walked, but we've both committed to completing the total of 155 kilometres during May as we want to give something back to help Southmead.  

Steve was diagnosed with a rare benign brain tumour in June 2018 and had his operation a few weeks later on the 31st July at Southmead Hospital.  The operation was a success and he's spent the last 7 months or so recovering and getting back to fitness.  This challenge is a milestone as it shows just how far he's come to take it on and we'd be really grateful if you could help us raise as much money as possible as the Neurosurgery team who looked after Steve were superb.

This new robotic microscope is derived from technology originally created for the International Space Station and will be used for cranial and spine operations.  It's an incredible piece of kit that will massively help advance surgical methods and be an aid to the surgeons who often spend hours and hours standing to complete such intricate operations.
