Solihull man goes the extra mile for epilepsy charity

14 April, 2009

Mark Cordiner-Barton from Shirley 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.

Mark, who will be among thousands attempting the challenging 26.2 mile run, will be running in memory of his colleague and friend, James Score, who sadly passed away last year due to epilepsy.

Mark, who has already raised £1300 sponsorship, said: “I have supported the charity for a few years now and want to continue raising as much money as possible to help support people affected by epilepsy.”
