Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page for Epilepsy Action.

The event we are participating in is the Cumbrian Commotion - part of the Helly Hansen Adventure Challenge Series - and takes place around Grizedale Forest in the Lake District.

The challenge involves off-road running (about 10km), mountain biking (upto 25km) and kayaking (upto 1.5km).  Some of us have done triathlons (though no idea why...), some have not - however, we all thought that this was good idea at the time and signed up......  *** SEE UPDATE BELOW ***

Russ suggested raising money for Epilepsy Action.  This charity provides support to those with epilepsy, provides funding for research and raises awareness of epilepsy.  Epilepsy affects 1 in 131 people of which only 52% are controlled through drugs.

Russ' wife's 4yr old nephew developed a severe form of epilepsy and, although now controlled through drugs, it was a frightening experience for the family - the support provided by Epilepsy Action helped the family understand what was happening, a valuable resource and source of assurance at a very stressful and worrying time. 

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.

UPDATE:  We all completed the race on Sunday March 21.  The event ended up being a run of 1.9km,  17.8km Mountain biking, 5.3km run, 0.5km kayak, 3.8km run - with a total of climb of over 800m.....  The organisers obvioulsy wouldn't cater for us "southerners" and made us run/ bike up and over a mountain !  Chris & Enrique finished in about 3h30 with Becky, Jane & Russ coming in at just under 4hrs.  More details to follow.... 

Originally our team included Andres Marull - unfortunately he wasn't able to join us on this adventure due to getting a great new position within the company.  Thanks for agreeing to do this, would have been great if you could have made the main event.
