Mike Cody from Connah’s Quay, Deeside 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.
Mike will be among thousands to attempt the challenging 26.2 mile run in a bid to help support the 456,000 people living with epilepsy in the UK.
Mike said: “My brother-in-law and uncle both have epilepsy. I want to raise money and awareness to help make a real difference to people living with this condition. The marathon will be a great personal challenge for me and I’m really looking forward to crossing the finish line for such a worthy cause!”
