Charity
Epilepsy Research UK is the only national charity exclusively dedicated to research into epilepsy. Over 400,000 people in the UK have epilepsy. Epilepsy can take many forms from a momentary blank spell to a dramatic major convulsion. Even with control of seizures, the quality of life for people with epilepsy can be unpredictable and restricted. However, new research offers the very real possibility of developing therapies that could prevent these deaths and transform the lives of those affected. Developments in drug therapy and medical scanning, along with major breakthroughs in the study of the human genome, mean that great progress has been made in understanding the causes of epilepsy in recent years. Even greater advances will be made in the coming years and our research will be at the forefront of developments to control, and perhaps even cure, epilepsy. By supporting Epilepsy Research UK you could make a real difference to the lives of thousands of people.

Tom's Second 10K
Well, I had so much fun last year, I'm doing it all again! I'll be running the British 10K London Run on July 11th, trying to beat my time of 58 mins.
I'll be raising money for Epilepsy Research UK, the only UK charity dedicated to research into the causes, treatment and prevention of Epilepsy - a condition that affects one in 200 people.
Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this. I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
