This is from the Birmingham Evening Mail and details a masonic charitable donation for medical research.
Marvellous to see research being supported by the Craft.
"The Warwickshire Freemasons have donated pounds 10,000 to Action Medical Research to support a ground-breaking study at the University of Birmingham's new pounds 16.4 million School of Sport and Exercise Sciences.
Action Medical Research allocates the charitable donations it receives towards research projects to help find new ways of preventing, treating and curing disease and disability.
The money will aid a project being conducted in collaboration with the university's School of Medicine, in which researchers are investigating whether controlled exercise using weight training principles can boost the effectiveness of the flu jab.
The exercises are designed to cause inflammation in the arm, which researchers believe might kick-start the immune system so it is ready to go when the vaccine is injected into the patient.
The research team is first identifying the best time to give the flu jab after exercise, by comparing the immune responses in people vaccinated immediately after exercising, or after a delay of six and 48 hours, and in people who do not exercise at all. "
