Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 25th of April 2010 I am running my first ever Virgin London Marathon in aid Epilepsy Action,the charity Epilepsy Action aims to improve the quality of life and promote the interests of people living with Epilepsy.

A good friend of ours Ronnie Hooke sadly died of cancer at the age of 42 on the 1st of March 2009, Hooky as we all knew him by, was married to Denise (Nessy to all her friends) and they have two children Gary and Sarah.

Sarah age 15 has suffered from Epilepsy all of her young life and has been in and out hospital, even going to Great Ormond Street Hospital to see if she would be a suitable candidate to try to stop the seizures completely but unfortunately this was unsuccesful.  Presently Sarah fits are under control but always has to be carefully monitored.

It has always been my ambition to run a London Marathon and having spent some great times watching Liverpool with Hooky and Bill Donald (see photo) over the years it is the least I could do to give something back in the memory of Hooky and hopefully any money raised for Epilepsy Action will go towards helping people like Sarah and many Epilepsy suffers 

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 how ever small you want to give.

Cheers
