Just a quick note from California to say I have just had an email from the researchers to note that donations to Rupert's Fund have just crossed the £3,500 mark, enabling 20 older cavaliers to be scanned.

Yet again this is another major milestone. The Fund has grown so fast and so significantly thanks to support from so many people, all over the globe. We will reach £4,000 before long!

We have had a steadily increasing number of generous donations from cavalier breeders too, which is wonderful and has very much helped move this research forward.
