To donate specifically to the MacPherson East Asian Medicine INnovative SCHolar (MENSCH) fund, choose the "in memory of" field and input Hugh's name so that we know to direct the donation to this fund.
Hugh MacPherson was a prior SAR Board member who died from pancreatic cancer and left a legacy to the world-wide acupuncture community that could well inspire verse after verse of a Scottish ballad.
The song would tell of the wondrous breadth of his research contributions, from the laboratory to the real-world; from the ‘n=1’ design to the mega-data analyses of the Acupuncture Trialists’ Collaboration; from the STRICTA guidelines for reporting clinical trial results to his presentations on the BBC and at the House of Lords urging wider acceptance of acupuncture as a healthcare option.
The ballad would include verses telling of Hugh’s many awards and honors (honours as he would correct us), culminating in his being named the UK’s first Professor of Acupuncture Research, at the University of York.
DONATE TODAY and help us to fund programs and initiatives in Hugh's memory and honor or to the field of acupuncture research by supporting SAR's mission.
