Epilepsy Research UK needs energetic people
to help us raise as much money as possible
for epilepsy research! More people every year
take part in sponsored events for Epilepsy
Research UK. You can join us individually
or get involved with family, friends and colleagues.
All you need to do is find an event that
you would like to take part in. Then get
in touch with us and tell us about it.
We'll provide you with
a sponsorship pack and promotional material
and can arrange publicity if you would like
it.
If nothing catches your eye on this visit,
please come back again soon, as we are adding
new events all the time...
Here are the UK events where we will be
fielding a team (for overseas challenges,
