Halifax fundraisers' big break for epilepsy charity

20 January, 2010

A team of Halifax fundraisers have raised over £1,000 for Leeds-based national charity, Epilepsy Action, by holding a pool tournament, pub crawl and auction.

Lisa Geoghegan and Guyon Patton arranged the events, which took place in November at The Queen's Head Tavern, Keighley Road, in memory of Lisa's son, Michael. Michael died five years ago, aged 18, after having an epileptic seizure. His epilepsy was not diagnosed until after his death. Lisa and Guyon decided to raise money for Epilepsy Action to help raise awareness of epilepsy in the Halifax area.
