Story

Please sponsor us to help raise important funds for research into Brain Aneurysms and Subarachnoid Haemorrhage, at Southampton Hospital Charity.

We will be embarking upon a Gold Post Box Challenge, visiting all of the Olympians Gold Post Boxes during the summer of 2016, from where we will be sending Postcards to important public figures, asking them to support our Brain Aneurysm Awareness and Fund Raising Campaign.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TOO! PLEASE SPONSOR US BY DONATING FUNDS FOR IMPORTANT RESEARCH INTO BRAIN ANEURYSMS AND SUBARACHNOID HAEMORRHAGE AT SOUTHAMPTON HOSPITAL!

We have both been personally affected by the devastation and loss that ruptured Brain Aneurysms and Subarachnoid Haemorrhage can cause and we NEED your help to raise IMPORTANT FUNDS for research into this terrifying silent killer.

Those of you that know us will be aware that Lisa's mum died of a Subarachnoid Haemorrhage, caused by a Brain Aneurysm in June 2012 at just 55 years old.

I myself, was suddenly struck down with a ruptured Brain Aneurysm in January 2016, but thankfully was diagnosed and transferred quickly to Southampton University Hospital, who saved my life.

Subarachnoid Haemorrhage caused by a ruptured Brain Aneurysm, strikes without warning and it could happen to you, or anyone you know...

...So, please support out Gold Post Box Challenge to help raise important funds for research.
