A Peterborough man is preparing to raise serious ‘wonga’ for Epilepsy Action, the UK’s largest member-led epilepsy charity.
Roger Stimson has organised an Epilepsy Action Wonga Walk through Nene Park, Ferry Meadows, Peterborough from 9.30am on Sunday 4 July. It is hoped 80 walkers will complete the six- mile route, which starts and finishes at Rivergate (outside Asda).
Epilepsy Action, the UK’s largest member-led epilepsy organisation, is hosting a seminar for anyone with an interest in epilepsy.
The event, funded by the Anglia Co-operative, will take place on Saturday 26 June at the Ivy House Country Hotel, Ivy Lane, Oulton Broad, Lowestoft, from 1.30pm to 4.30pm, and is open to anyone with an interest in epilepsy.
Two women from St Albans, who have been affected by epilepsy, are taking part in the St Albans Half Marathon. Nicola MacKinnon and Beccy Pile will be raising vital funds for Epilepsy Action, the UK’s largest member-led epilepsy charity.
Beccy’s son Luke has epilepsy so the two women wanted to do something to raise awareness of the condition and raise money to support Epilepsy Action’s work. They will join thousands of others in attempting to walk the 13.1 mile course on Sunday 13 June.
