Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
This time I'm really going for it! In the past I have run half marathons at Silverstone and the Great North Run twice. I've decided half marathons are for wimps and this time I'm running the whole 26.2 miles or 42 km if that sounds better!
The charity this time is Epilepsy Bereaved. This is the only epilepsy charity that directly supports SUDEP which is what caused Aaron's death in October 2008.
Founded in 1993, Epilepsy Bereaved (EB) is the leading voluntary organisation in the UK and internationally working to prevent unnecessary deaths from SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy) and other epilepsy deaths.
The risks of SUDEP and other epilepsy deaths are still not fully acknowledged. This means that people with epilepsy are still at risk of dying suddenly, prematurely and unnecessarily. Without Epilepsy Bereaved, awareness of SUDEP and epilepsy related deaths would be minimal.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
