A Rotherham woman, who has epilepsy, is preparing to lace up her running shoes to complete this year’s Liverpool Santa Dash to raise vital funds for Epilepsy Action. Alison Burgin will take part in the 5k festive challenge along with 8,000 others in Liverpool city centre on Sunday 2 December. Epilepsy Action provides advice and support to the 600,000 people with epilepsy in the UK.
Settle tea drinkers are being urged to drink tea and eat cake for charity as part of this year’s National Tea Break. A tea break event, hosted by Jackie Cole and Chris Fontenille at the King William the fourth Guest House, will raise money for Yorkshire-based national charity Epilepsy Action.
Epilepsy Action, the UK’s leading epilepsy organisation, is launching a coffee and chat group to support people with epilepsy in Walsall.
The launch event will be held on Friday 19 October from 1.30pm to 4.00pm in the seminar room at Blakenall Village Centre Medical Practice, Thames Road, Walsall. The group will help people with epilepsy come together in an informal setting to support each other and share experiences.
