This year, I ran the London Marathon in memory of my brother, Tim, who died during a seizure back in 1986. I'm raising money for the National Society for Epilepsy, a charity that does so much to help people like my brother. There is a lot still to learn about epilepsy and of course the research that's needed costs money. They also provide much-needed support to people with epilepsy and help raise awareness of this illness, which affects over half a million people in the UK.

It was my sixth London marathon but I've never before run it for charity. It felt good to be running for my brother and for a great charity, and to have the support of so many of my friends and relatives.

Thanks very much

Richard
