A Brighton man is taking part in the Brighton Marathon to raise vital funds for Epilepsy Action, the UK’s largest member-led epilepsy charity.
Craig Woodman, 36, will be joining thousands to attempt the challenging 26.2 mile run on Sunday 18 April. The route around the city and along the coast will be generally fast and reasonably flat. Craig is taking part to support his friend’s son who has recently been diagnosed with epilepsy.
Craig said: “I want to show my support for my friend and his family and help raise money for a fantastic cause. I’m really looking forward to taking part in the event with over 10,000 other runners.”
Craig hopes to raise as much as possible to help support the 456,000 people living with epilepsy in the UK. The money raised by Craig will help fund the vital advice and information services provided by Epilepsy Action.
Epilepsy Action has a huge variety of fundraising events suitable for all ages and abilities. The events can be a fun and exciting challenge with the added bonus of making a difference to the lives of people with epilepsy. To find out more visit www.epilepsy.org.uk/involved
