Have you got an independent place in the Great North Run?

Submitted by Mark@Epilepsy Action on 28 August, 2008 - 09:27.

Thanks to everyone who responded to our earlier posting looking for people to sign up for guaranteed places in the Great North Run. I'm pleased to report that we have none of those left - we have willing runners happy to run the half-marathon to raise money for us.

However, if you have your own independent place in this year’s Great North Run then it isn’t too late to join our team. Join our team today and you will receive:

A free top quality running vest
A free exclusive goody-bag
A post-race welcome at the charity village
Constant fundraising support, hints and tips

If you have a place and would like to join our team, please get in touch with Eleanor Smith in our fundraising department. Either by phone on 0113 210 8800 (UK), +44 113 210 8800 (international) or by email to esmith@epilepsy.org.uk.

And good luck to everyone running on 5 October!

Thanks,
Mark at Epilepsy Action

Media Blog for October 2008

During October, Epilepsy Action took part in 22 radio interviews, and 36 online features.

Channel 4 documentary about Young Carers (9-14 yrs)

Epilepsy Action has been approached by a documentary production company who are developing a film for Channel 4 focussing on young carers in the UK. The company are looking to work with children aged 9-14 years who are just about the only carer for another family member with epilepsy.

Media blog for September 2008

Welcome to our new Epilepsy Action monthly media blog. It would be impossible to report on all our media coverage (you’ll see why if you visit our press releases page). I want to give you a snapshot of just some of the work we have been involved with to help raise awareness of epilepsy in the media - in the press, on the radio, online and on the television.
