Action Medical Research

Action Medical Research is the UK’s most forward thinking charity. We believe diseases and disabilities can be beaten, and through medical research we are creating a healthier future for everyone.

Our work is driven by medical need, and not influenced by politics or swayed by the pressure to be profitable, which means we are free to fund only the best science.

Since 1952, when our first research funding paved the way for the ‘sugar cube’ vaccine in the UK which crippled polio, we have been involved in a remarkable breadth of groundbreaking work.

All donations are for the registered charity "Action Medical Research", Registered Charity No. 208701. Gift Aid will be claimed where applicable on the balance raised. Donations and registration fees will not be refundable to me, even if I do not participate in, or complete the event. Money will only be refunded to the donor upon written request. All cash and cheques (made payable to Action Medical Research) should be sent to me and not to the charity.
