About the Five Star Scanner Appeal:

The current project is named the Five Star Scanner Appeal and aims to raise £1M for a new MRI scanner. The existing scanner was provided by ourselves 13 years ago under the appeal name of The Bryan Robson Scanner Appeal. The new equipment will cut the time of a standard scan from 45 minutes to 15 minutes and will aid doctors in diagnosing cancer and cancer related illnesses more quickly, enabling them to provide early treatment that will ultimately save children's lives.
