New Forest Marathon 2009 · 27 September 2009 ·

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

Karen, Simon and I are attempting to run the half marathon to raise money for the The Wessex Neurological Centre.

Ten years ago my dad suffered from a brain haemorrhage.  Thanks to the speedy action of his local GP and the treatment he received at the Southampton Neurological Unit he made a very good recovery. 

In October last year, whilst he was on holiday in America, my dad had another brain haemorrhage and died instantly.

We're doing this run in his memory and to raise money for the centre.  Please sponsor us.
