Royal College of Surgeons of England
(UK, 212808) Browse events
YTD Raised: £363.47
(UK, 212808) With 4.2 million surgical operations carried out every year in England alone our aim to maintain and advance surgical standards in patient care has never been so important. Some operations are minor, while others are life-saving or will dramatically enhance the quality of life. In every case, the patient places their trust in the hands of the surgeon. As a registered charity (No 212808), independent of the NHS, the College relies heavily on charitable support to fund the development of these activities. Legacies and donations from grant-giving trusts, companies and individuals provide an essential source of income and allow us to fund important new projects and initiatives. The College continues to sustain and improve surgical standards throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Our training, education and The College is very grateful to all of our charitable donors and sponsors, as without their continued support this work would not be possible.

Scottish Huntington's Association
(UK, 010985) Browse events
YTD Raised: £360.00Established in 1989 by families living with Huntington's Disease (HD), Scottish Huntington’s Association (SHA) is the only Scottish charity dedicated to providing medical support to those affected by HD. Huntington's Disease is a devastating genetic condition that slowly deteriorates brain cells,resulting in a loss of spatial coordination & mental awareness and eventually resulting in death. HD is a hereditary condition, meaning that it is passed on from parent to child, with children of those with the condition facing a 50:50 chance of inheriting the disease. Once symptoms set in, patients will require full-time medical care. There is currently no cure for the disease. SHA aims to tackle the inequalities faced by those within the HD community, ensuring that families are better connected to support and services. It is our aim to significantly improve the quality of life of everyone affected by this devastating condition and to increase awareness of HD through training and education.

a Life for a Cure
(UK, 1076774alc) Browse events
YTD Raised: £350.00Ryan Bresnahan, our son, died very suddenly on 31st March 2010 of Meningitis B, aged just 16. He was a fit, healthy, caring young man, full of personality and a sports scholar at Clifton College. We had no notice or even time to say goodbye – it all happened within an hour. a Life for a Cure’ was founded as both a legacy to Ryan and to help raise awareness and valuable funds in search for the ultimate vaccine. This is one of the most devastating and infectious diseases in the UK. 2014 has seen great progress, with the Government announcing in March that the Meningitis B vaccine, Bexsero, will be in the childhood immunisation schedule. Dates for it's introduction have not yet been finalised, but even when it is available, this vaccine will only be effective against about 70% of the strains of the disease so we must keep investing in research against the other strains. We are delighted to announce £315,000 has been raised to date. In addition to the pioneering project we have already funded at Sheffield University that has produced very positive results, a unique piece of research looking at the 30% gap in the recently discovered vaccine, started earlier this year at Imperial College, London. YOUR HELP IS VITAL in continuing to support this local Bristol charity which is operated purely on a voluntary basis, with all donations contributing to Ryan’s Appeal and the work we continue to do in association with Meningitis Now. We really, really appreciate all your help and support. To see more details go to http://www.ryanbresnahan.org/ 2014 is definitely the year for a new Challenge and in turn, help our fight against Meningitis.

The Rik Basra Leukaemia Campaign
(UK, 1153917) Browse events
YTD Raised: £350.00It's shocking but did you know... Someone is diagnosed with blood cancer every 20 minutes in the UK... yes, that's 72 people a day that will receive that devastating news that they have a life threatening illness! It gets worse... Many of them will require a life saving stem cell transplant, without one they will not survive. But there's a big problem, there simply aren't enough stem cell donors on the register... as a consequence many people will die needlessly. At this time Anthony Nolan (The UK Stem Cell Registry) can only find donors for half the people that require one... 50% of patients and along with them their families and friends will have to stand by helplessly as the disease takes it's inevitable course. The situation is even more acute for minority patients, who make up a pitiful 4% of the UK registry. The real tragedy... It really doesn't have to be this way... medical advances make registration and donation extremely simple and straightforward with no lasting adverse implications for the donor whatsoever. Despite this donor numbers remain stubenly low. Of course patients still have many hurdles to get through even with a transplant, but at least with one they have a fighting chance. To date there has been too little done to address this issue. Rik Basra was one of those desperately ill patients, he had Leukaemia his search for a donor proved extremely problematic. Rik was on an finite timeline and doctors advised that his only hope was to to find someone already on the database...there was simply insuffient time to find a donor through a registration drive. Rik's situation was to say the least desperate, even moreso when a search of the UK database proved fruitless. It was a frightening time but also extremely frustrating. Frustration turned to determination and Rik started the campaign whilst in hospital to hopefully help others who may find themselves in the same situation. To cut a long story short, Rik had just two weeks left with his chemotherapy regime when miraculously a donor was found for him following an international search in Germany...it literally was at the 'eleventh hour'. Rik was extremely lucky, sadly there there are many, many others who are not... this is the driver for our work. We strive to give hope to desperatly ill patients and their families. So what do we do? Our ultimate aim is to get to a point where everyone, has a donor available to them at point of need. PLEASE HELP US DO MORE BY FUNDRAISING OR DONATING... THANK-YOU

Gillian Fabb Memorial Fund
(UK, 276008) Browse events
YTD Raised: £315.00The Gillian Fabb Memorial Fund was set up following Gillan's death from liver cancer at the age of 8years. It aims to provide money for research into improved methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancer in children and has raised nearly £200 000. Money is raised in many ways with family and friends, especially Gillian's three sisters, playing a major role. Initially, all money went to The Institute of Child Health, attached to Great Ormond Street Hospital. Many pieces of equipment were purchased and important research programmes were financed. In 1995, the particular laboratory we had been supporting was closed but we became aware of a similar need for funds at The Dept. of Paediatric Oncology at The Royal Marsden Cancer Hospital. The Trustees visited the Unit in 1996, were impressed by the work being carried out and pledged our ongoing support for this research. We work hard to raise funds and are gratified to see how much progress has been made over the past 20 years. The labs have excellent links with other depts. at the Institute of Cancer Research and are working with them to develop new, more effective drugs, targeted specifically for childhood cancers, with far fewer side-effects than existing treatments. Apart from accidents, cancer, including leukaemia, is still the greatest killer of children today in the UK so we must not become complacent as we see improved recovery figures-with improved resources for research into diagnosis, treatment and prevention, the situation could improve still further. Every penny donated to the Fund goes to research-nothing is ever taken out for administration purposes.
