ACL Knee Surgery, 23 April 2017

Story

Having raised £10,929 to support Cheltenham General's surgeons, we are now launching a 2nd phase to support Rob Gleeson and the surgeons at Gloucestershire Royal who need £3,754.40p. There is no sound that an athlete or sportsman dreads more than the distinct "pop" of a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament. Reconstructing an ACL requires a skilled surgeon using specialist medical equipment and can help prevent Arthritis. The 'Knee Group' of surgeons at Cheltenham General were the 1st team to  appeal to GAT for help and now their equivalent team at Glos Royal need our help. Your knee is the most complex joint in your body and is subjected to huge forces during sports or athletics. The ACL is the most important of five 'structures' that resist those forces. The 'at risk' generation are 20 - 40 year olds. Please help us to save the knees of a generation of sportsmen and women by preventing Arthritis.
