Boughton woman goes the extra mile for epilepsy charity
A Boughton woman, who had epilepsy when she was a child, is preparing to lace up her running shoes to complete the Bupa Great Birmingham Run. Charlotte Mackaness is taking part to raise funds for national charity Epilepsy Action. The charity provides advice and support to the 600,000 people with epilepsy in the UK.
Charlotte, 36, will join around 15,000 runners in attempting the 13.1 miles through Birmingham on Sunday 21 October. Charlotte has chosen to take part for Epilepsy Action because she had epilepsy when she was a child.
