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
