Third Time Running For Alice

7 August, 2008

Runners will soon be flocking to the green surrounds of the Calder Valley to take part in Alice's Run, a multi-terrain 10k race being held in aid of Epilepsy Action on Sunday August 31.

Now in its third year, the race was set up to celebrate the life of Blackshawhead girl, Alice Redmond, who died following a tragic accident in August 2005. Alice worked at Epilepsy Action during her student placement year from Leeds Metropolitan University, helping to organise fundraising events and raise awareness to support the 456,000 people living with epilepsy in the UK.
