<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>"TEAM RACHEL" </strong>has been formed by <strong>Rebecca Dixon, Anna Carter, Jane Gomm, Rosy Hall, Rachel Ifans, Victoria Bond, Storme Thompson and Louise Stone.</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">We are all running the Bristol 10km on 20th May in memory of <strong>Rachel Dixon </strong>and to raise money for <strong>Epilepsy Action</strong>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rachel died suddenly and unexpectedly in her sleep in May 2010 aged just 18, having developed Epilepsy only a year before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was an amazing young woman and her tragic death has had a profound effect on her family and friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">The only positive thing we can do is to help raise awareness of this largely misunderstood condition which affects 600,000 people in the UK and 50 million worldwide.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Even more shockingly, after Rachel's death we discovered that 1,000 (mostly young) people die every year from Epilepsy in the UK alone, so research into finding a cure for this complex condition is crucial.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">So far, Rachel's family & friends have raised nearly £24,000 for Epilepsy Action, which is a fantastic tribute to her - it would be amazing to make it £25,000!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">So please dig deep - any amount you can donate would be really appreciated.</span></span></p>
