Maximising the quality of life for people with neurological disorders

ING New York City Marathon 2006

There are 10 million people in the UK living with a neurological condition. They affect all ages and people may experience the onset of a neurological condition at any time in their lives.

By choosing to take part in the ING New York City Marathon for the Brain and Spine Foundation you will help us to continue to provide reliable, appropriate, high quality information for everyone who needs it.

Your support will be greatly appreciated and will make a real difference for the future.

Your money will be used to:

• publish a range of booklets on neurological conditions
• extend the opening hours of our professionally staffed free telephone
  helpline - a vital source for those in need of advice and reassurance.
• fund the young person’s brain injury project
• educate health professionals in diagnosis and management of neurological conditions
• campaign for better statutory services

Or let us know if you have your own place and we will send you a Welcome Pack and you will be part of the team! There is obviously no minimum sponsorship required if you have your own place.

Every pound raised in the ING New York City Marathon will have a direct impact on the services that the Foundation can provide and helps in the continuation of its groundbreaking work that may one day help a friend, family member, or even yourself.
