Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm running the Edinburgh half-marathon in May to raise money for Epilepsy Action. Epilepsy Action is the largest member-led epilepsy organisation in Britain, acting as the voice for the UK's estimated 600,000 people with epilepsy, as well as their friends, families, carers, health professionals and the many other people on whose lives the condition has an impact.

 

As well as campaigning to improve epilepsy services and raise awareness of the condition, they offer assistance to people in a number of ways including a national network of branches, accredited volunteers, regular regional conferences and freephone and email helplines.

 

As someone living with epilepsy, I can attest to the quality of the information and advice provided by Epilepsy Action. Although I'm lucky enough to be able to work and enjoy live with minimal disruption from my illness, many thousands of others are not - they rely on organisations like Epilepsy Action and its members.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

With thanks in advance,

Richard
