This year the chosen charity is Scottish Epilepsy Initiative
There are an estimated 8550 children and teenagers with epilepsy in Scotland. The needs of young people are currently somewhat under-represented within the epilepsy community. While their medical issues are being addressed by the NHS, there is a real need for emotional and social support. Teenagers with epilepsy may experience significant day to day problems that can prevent them from living ordinary lives. In particular, the stigma attached to the diagnosis can be almost as debilitating as the disorder itself.
Admittedly until recently I hadn't heard much about the charity, I said to a friend recently that if she signed up to run the Glasgow half marathon with me I would raise money for the charity of her choice. Emma took approx 3 seconds on deciding her charity. This is a charity that is very Emma is very close to and upon researching them myself I have to agree with her that this is a very worthwhile cause.
Last years event was brilliant and i'm sure this years will be just as good if not better.
So please all dig deep to help not just me but Emma reach our targets for this years events.
Alternatively you can donate on Emma's page at http://www.justgiving.com/Emma-Williams12 all donations will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time for reading this and donating towards an excellent cause.
