It is with great pleasure that the London Blitz American
football team announce their fundraising intentions for 2008.
The Hurstwood Park Neurological Centre in Sussex is one of the country’s
leading centres for brain injury treatment and rehabilitation, and the only
operating centre in the South-East of the country. These injuries can result from
trauma (traffic accidents, assault, falls, concussions caused by sporting
injury etc.), tumours, stroke, anoxia or disease.
The League of Friends for Hurstwood Park has been in existence for a number of
years and has raised close to £2 million during this time.
It is our intention to help them reach this
milestone during 2008.
Blitz photographer ‘danh’ has recently had cause to raise funds for this unit
as his Mother suffered a brain aneurysm in February this year. Dan intends to
raise as much money as he can this year by selling his photographs, and the
Blitz family have offered to help him raise as much money as possible. With this
in mind, we have decided to make one of our home games this year a fundraiser
to boost whatever monies Dan raises. This will be announced in detail at a
later date.
Photographs taken by Dan during the season will be available for purchase at:
www.photoboxgallery.com/danh_photos. Any photographs previously taken by Dan
can also be uploaded for purchase.
You
can contact Dan via the ‘Contacts’ section on this website.

Brain injury is a traumatic event and one that American footballers face every
time they take to the field. We are proud to be associated with Hurstwood
Park’s League of Friends and are comforted that such a dedicated and
professional organisation exists to rehabilitate those suffering brain trauma,
whatever the cause.
