Laura's Appeal

Thu 26 May 2016

Category: Membership

PESGB Member Laura Sylvester, 23, studying for a Masters in Petroleum Geoscience at Imperial College London, is in urgent need of further medical crowdfunding of £300,000 https://www.youcaring.com/laura-sylvester-483048

Since being diagnosed on April 2014 with a rare genetic disease called Ehlers Danios Syndrome (EDS) with PoTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), which causes the connective tissue through her
body to be extremely stretchy and easily breakable, Laura has undergone two life-saving neurosurgeries.

She was preparing to return to the UK, and to re-commence her Masters project with the exploration team at Impact Oil & Gas, when she was recently diagnosed with a rare blood clot in the brain. For this she requires further surgery in the US, and is in critical need of your help and support to receive this life saving treatment.

Please consider  contributing to Laura’s fundraising appeal by donating via her “YouCaring” medical crowdfunding site.  Every £10 helps, and she will be forever grateful for your support in helping her through this most difficult time in her life.  Thank you!

Phil Birch
Exploration Director, Impact Oil and Gas Limited
