Title Bullet Support us - Fundraising ideas
 
This year some of our supporters are taking on exceptional challenges to raise much-needed funds for research. If you would like to show your support by sponsoring them, please send your donation to Epilepsy Research UK office or visit their online sponsorship
pages at justgiving.com.

Sarah Battershell, pictured here with her brother Christopher, is running in the London Marathon to raise money for Epilepsy Research UK. Talking about her motivation for taking up this challenge, Sarah says: "My younger brother Christopher was diagnosed with epilepsy from a young age. Despite daily medication, he still suffers from seizures. At the age of 17, Chris's condition makes getting a job, learning to drive and finding independence a struggle."

Chris Spellman is setting out on the Marathon des Sables, 'the toughest foot race on earth', at the end of March. This 6-day, 155-mile endurance race across the Sahara Desert, is a real test of stamina and mental fortitude. Competitors run the equivalent of six marathons in as many days, across the most hostile sands in the world, carrying all their supplies on their back. Chris is running for the Simon Warwood Memorial Fund. Click here to sponsor Chris Chris Spellman training in Morocco - click here for a larger image
