In memory of Dave Brown
The main focus of our research at Leicester is in the management of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) from laboratory research, to genetic links behind AAA and new treatments to make surgery safer.

Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page in memory of my Grandad Dave Brown who sadly passed away surrounded by loved ones on Sunday 15th October.

Our Grandad was a wonderful man with a huge heart, he will be remembered for his generosity and most importantly that he never expected anything in return. He was respected by all for the hourable man he was. 

He was diagnosed with an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm years ago but it never dampened his spirit. He was cutting wood, feeding the cows and driving his truck until his last day and we all know he wouldn't have it any other way.

The causes of AAA remain unclear and treatment often comes with complications.

We kindly ask that instead of buying flowers, a donation is made to research into the causes of AAA and improving surgery safety.
