Some of you know (and some may not) that I lost my big sister to Epilepsy in 1997. 

1. Epilepsy affects a huge number of people, but there is VERY little public awareness about the condition. One consequence of this is that epilepsy research is chronically under-funded.
2. I ran the London marathon last year and am determined to improve this year - I'm raising funds for Epilepsy Research UK in memory of Sarah Torrens.
3. If you have ever trained for a marathon, you will know how hard it is - please help me to stay focused through the cold, dark winter months by donating - you really will be helping a fantastic cause.

Thank you, very much.
