It offers help, support, assistance and advice through their National Patient Support Network. F.A.B.L.E. also helps to raise&nbsp;awareness of Vagus Nerve Stimulation Therapy, a treatment for those with Epilepsy uncontrolled by medication alone.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 17px;">I have family members who are affected by epilepsy and by running for F.A.B.L.E I hope to raise more awareness for this brain disorder and to help those affected lead an improved and more normal life. It is a cause I consider extremely worthwhile <span style="color: #1c1c1c;">and any donation would make a difference and would be hugely appreciated.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 17px;">D<span style="color: #1c1c1c;">onating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: #1c1c1c; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">So please dig deep and donate now. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 17px; color: #1c1c1c;">Thank you,</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 17px; color: #1c1c1c;">Emily</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; font-family: Arial;">&nbsp;</span></p> <!--EndFragment-->
