We give grants to early career doctors and scientists to explore new techniques and diagnostic treatments into neurological conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, brain tumours, stroke and dementia.

I recently became a trustee of the Foundation and would like to start by boosting its fund-raising efforts as much as I can.

The foundation has a fantastic track record supporting early-stage research into conditions of the brain and spinal chord. I hope that work will go from strength to strength.
