Fundraising for Southampton Hospitals Charity
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am cycling from Lands End to John O'Groats to help raise money towards a portable CT scanner for Southampton Hospital, I am looking to raise at least £3200.00 so all donations however small would be much appreciated to help this great cause. Assuming I survive the training, we will be departing g from Lands End on 17.6.14 and arriving at John O'Groats on 29.6.14.
Story
Percy’s Pals is a fund raising group under the umbrella of Southampton Hospital Charity. The group was formed by friends of Dr Richard Percival, who died in February 2013 aged 47 years from a stroke at The Wessex Neurological Intensive Treatment Unit (WNITU) at Southampton General Hospital.
The WNITU treats victims of stroke and brain injury from all over the south of England. Anyone suffering brain injury or stroke in the South of England is very likely to be treated there.
To allow faster diagnosis of emergency cases, Southampton General Hospital are aiming to raise £250000 to buy a portable CT scanner. Without this scanner the treatment of patients admitted to the WNITU could be delayed vital minutes, where the speed of treatment can be crucial to their survival and a successful recovery.
