Fantasy Football and Dinner |

In this financial year we established our own Peer Review system for grant applications,
giving SPARKS the opportunity to fund a wider range of ground-breaking medical projects, with
the emphasis on clinical application.Plans for ’98 include an awareness-raising campaign,
beginning with a cinema and TV commercial, and the opportunity to recruit regular support
through our new Friends Scheme. We remain grateful for your continued help, and encourage
you to become a SPARKS friend, if you haven’t yet joined up!
