Story

A team from the Neurosciences Foundation, backed by friends and supporters, walked from the Meadows to the Scottish Government Building via Cramond Brig – a total of about 31 kilometres - today, the 1st of Octbober 2023.

The aim is to demonstrate that even small steps can lead to mighty strides in tackling brain and nervous system diseases such as glioblastoma (brain tumours), strokes, multiple sclerosis, migraine and brain injuries too.

We also want to raise money to put towards an early-stage research grant.  

About the charity

Our main role is to assist in the provision of funds for research groups based in Scotland whose work will ultimately help patients with brain tumours, stroke, head injury, Parkinson’s Disease, depression, schizophrenia, MS, epilepsy or other diseases of the central nervous system. The Foundation has granted over £1 million to early career doctors and scientists to explore new techniques and diagnostic treatments for conditions relating to these disorders of nerves and the nervous system. In so doing we support Scottish groups researching innovative techniques and treatments of neurological conditions.
