Join our team for the Bupa Great Manchester
Run 2011 and help change the future for
people with epilepsy.
The 2010 Great Manchester Run saw over
130 of you taking part for Epilepsy Research
UK and you raised over £20,000! It
was our best year yet, and it would be fantastic
to make it even better in 2011!!
We have now filled all of our guaranteed
entries available for 2011. If you have
your own place in the run, we would love
you to join our team and will provide you
with full fundraising support. There is
no minimum sponsorship target for own place
runners.

By running for Epilepsy Research UK, you
will be helping to fund ground-breaking
research in the UK that will help change
the future for people with epilepsy. Every
project we fund is rigorously assessed by
a panel of experts, to ensure it has the
potential to advance our understanding of
the condition and improvements in the treatment
of those with epilepsy.
There is no known cure for epilepsy
Over 30% of people with epilepsy have
seizures that do not respond to drug treatment
In over 60% of cases there is no known
cause
Every year 1,000 people die as a result
of epilepsy
You can help!
Every pound raised by you will increase
the amount of research we can fund.
We are here to support you every step of the way, and each runner will receive a fundraising pack full of ideas, sponsor forms and a personalised Epilepsy Research UK running vest for the race day. We also have fundraising materials available for all your needs, such as drinks mats, banner tape, balloons, pens, ribbon badges - you'll get a form to order what you need in your fundraising pack!
