Epilepsy Action, the UK’s largest member-led epilepsy organisation, is hosting an adventure day for people with epilepsy.
It will take place on Saturday 6 October from 10.00am to 1.00pm (approximately) at Witherslack Hall Equestrian Centre, Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria.
A Keswick man, whose sister has epilepsy, is preparing to lace up his running shoes to complete the Bupa Great North Run. Ben Armstrong 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.
Ben will attempt the prestigious 13.1 miles through Tyneside on Sunday 16 September. He has chosen to take part for Epilepsy Action because his sister, Tanya, has epilepsy.
A Warrington family will cycle 1,000 miles from Denmark to Warrington in memory of a much-loved daughter and sister.
In August 2008, the Farrell family lost its youngest member, 15-year old Felicity, to SUDEP (sudden unexpected death in epilepsy). Felicity had only been diagnosed with epilepsy eight months previously. In 2009, older brother Tan moved with his Danish girlfriend from his hometown of Warrington to Copenhagen, Denmark.
