Action Medical Research
Action Medical Research was originally founded in 1952, by Duncan Guthrie, in his quest to find a cure for polio, a condition that blighted the lives of many thousands of children including his own daughter Janet. Early research funded by the charity led to the development and rapid adoption of the first polio vaccine which eradicated new cases of the disease in the UK.

Since then the charity has developed an extraordinary track record in supporting some of the most significant medical breakthroughs in recent history, breakthroughs that have helped save thousands of childrens lives and changed many more.
