Morecambe Marathon (2:40/2:45) & Rotherham Ultra (50 Miles) · 29 September 2024

Epilepsy Action is creating a world without limits for everyone affected by epilepsy, connecting people with others, and providing support and information you can trust. We’re calling out the misunderstanding, prejudice and barriers that stop people with epilepsy living their best life.

Story

Life has a way of surprising us when we least expect it. Recently, I was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 26, a condition that has brought unexpected challenges and profound changes to my daily life. However, instead of letting this diagnosis slow me down, Im speeding up.

This September, I am taking on an extraordinary challenge: running the Morecambe marathon in under 2:45 and the Rotherham 50 mile ultra within a week of each other. Raising awareness and funds for epilepsy research and support.

Epilepsy affects millions of people worldwide, yet it remains misunderstood and underfunded. By participating in this feat, I aim to shed light on this condition, advocate for those who live with it, and contribute to the advancement of research that could lead to better treatments and, one day, a cure.

Donate, Share or Cheer it all helps.

Join me on my journey, and thank you for your support.
