The Brain Inflammation Group at the University of Manchester carries out research to find new treatments for stroke.

Brain haemorrhage, where there is a bleed in the brain, is one of the most devastating types of stroke. The mortality rates after brain haemorrhage are high, with 40% of patients dying within the first month. Unfortunately there are no current treatments for brain haemorrhage. It is important therefore that research is done to find these desperately needed new treatments. 

We are delighted  to be running the Manchester Marathon to raise funds for the Natalie Kate Moss Trust (NKMT), which is dedicated to funding research on brain haemorrhage. The NKMT was established in 2012 after the sudden death of Natalie Kate Moss at the age of 26 from a brain haemorrhage.

Twenty members and alumni of the Brain Inflammation Group have taken on the challenge of running the Manchester Marathon 2022 to raise funds for the NKMT and we would welcome any donations to support this worthwhile cause.
