Richard Selway from Bromley is taking part in the Flora London Marathon on Sunday 26 April in aid of Epilepsy Action, the UK’s largest member-led epilepsy charity.
Richard, a neurosurgeon at Kings College Hospital, will be joining thousands to attempt the challenging 26.2 mile run, to help support the 456,000 people living with epilepsy in the UK.
Richard said: “I work with many adults and children with very severe epilepsy. The effect on their lives is often far beyond just the seizures. Epilepsy Action is helping to address both their medical and non-medical needs, through its campaigning and the wealth of advice and information it provides.”
