Epilepsy Action, the UK’s leading epilepsy organisation, is urging runners across London to lace up their running shoes to take part in the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon. The charity has guaranteed places for the 13.1 mile run, which takes place in central London on Sunday 7 October.
Epilepsy Action, the UK’s largest member-led epilepsy organisation, is hosting a photo exhibition called “Capturing emotions: snapshots of life with epilepsy”. It aims to raise public awareness and show that there is more to people with epilepsy than the condition itself.
The launch event will take place on Thursday 14 June 2012 at the Free Space Gallery, Kentish Town Health Centre, 2 Bartholomew Road, Kentish Town, from 6.00pm to 9.00pm. The exhibition is free and open to all. It will be on display until 20 June.
