Fundraising for Brain & Spine Foundation
Story
1994 was an interesting year for us. I spent the first few months confusing my doctor with a list of vague and, to his mind, seemingly unrelated symptoms.
Eventually I began to have seizures and was fortunate enough to be picked up by a very persistent ambulance woman who insisted that I be taken to a hospital with a CT machine and that I be scanned.
A tumor was found on the left frontal lobe of my brain. It was swiftly removed and found to be benign, by some very clever fellows. I have been in the best of health for the past ten years.
If more research can be funded and more educational outreach programs can be provided, then more neurological stories can have happy endings, like mine.

This site discusses funds in terms of UK Pounds. Credit or debit cards based on US Dollar accounts are equally welcome. Your bank will transfer your sponsorship funds based on that day's exchange rates. There is generally no charge for this service.
A good rule of thumb for US contributors:
Whatever amount you would like to contribute in Dollars, contribute half of that in Pounds. Exchange rates on March 1, 2004: 1 US Dollar = 0.53 UK Pounds 10 US Dollars = 5.34 UK Pounds 20 US Dollars = 10.68 UK Pounds 1 UK Pound = 1.86 US Dollars 10 UK Pounds = 18.69 US Dollars 20 UK Pounds = 37.38 US Dollars For current rates and an exchange calculator visit: http://www.xe.com/ucc
