Thanks to some more generous donations I'm at the half way point in my fundraising. All the money you've graciously pledged or given will help support a thoroughly deserving charity.
The Stroke Association has already conducted research into the effects of immediate surgery on constricted carotid arteries in asymptomatic patients and found that, compared with delayed surgery, the chances of stroke are reduced by 50% after 5 years.
Now the researchers need to obtain 10 year results to determine whether the carotid endarterectomy operations are cost-effective.

Research costs money and without donations from charitable people such as you and me studies like this would take so much longer as the fight to win grants is a tough one indeed.
Thank you to everyone who has given already. Keep it coming.
You can also donate by text now. Amazing huh!
Simply text MACK80 £2 to 70070
If you want to donate more than £2 then just amend the number after the £ sign to reflect your intended donation.
Texts are free to send on any network. Only the cost of the donation will be charged.
