Siobhan Kee from County Tyrone, will be taking part in the Belfast Marathon on Monday May 7 in aid of Epilepsy Action, the UK’s leading member led epilepsy charity.
This is the first year that Siobhan will be taking on the gruelling 26.2 mile challenge.
Siobhan says: “My niece has epilepsy so I would really like to raise money and awareness for Epilepsy Action as I know how much the charity can help people living with the condition. This is also a personal challenge for me, as I have never done anything like this so it will be a real achievement.”
The money raised by Siobhan will help fund vital advice and information services provided by the charity. Epilepsy Action has a network of branches across the UK and now directly helps more than 550,000 people every year.
