Laura Carrigan from Maidenhead, Berkshire, took part in a parachute jump in aid of Epilepsy Action, the UK’s leading member led epilepsy charity. The jump took place in Bicester on Saturday June 2.
Laura says: “I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 11. I have been seizure free for 11 years now and I really want to give something back to Epilepsy Action who have helped me a lot. I was so nervous before the jump but it was fantastic! So far I have managed to raise just over £1,000, which I am really pleased with.”
The money raised by Laura will help fund vital advice and information services provided by the charity. You can still sponsor Laura at www.justgiving.com/lauracarrigan. Epilepsy Action has a network of branches across the UK and now directly helps more than 550,000 people every year.
