THE RETURN OF THE BRAINATHLON The Brainathlon is a virtual event brought to you in collaboration with our friends at Brain Research UK and Brain Tumour Research. So, how does it work? Simply run 15 miles, walk 10 miles and climb 1.2 miles (or 2,500 individual stairs) to complete the total 26.2 miles of the Brainathlon. Take on the challenge on your own, or as part of a relay team of three and you can do all three challenges on one day or break it up during the week – the choice is yours!
My brother has lived with epilepsy for almost all of his life, and I know how much it can affect the individual as well as their families. Hopefully, the funds raised will help research and treatment to make the lives of those affected by these conditions better now and in the future.

RIDE FOR RESEARCH WITH RIDE LONDON Make a huge difference this year and #RideforResearch. We have a limited number of places for those wanting to join #TeamERUK for the return of the iconic Ride London event. Taking place on Sunday 29 May, this year’s Ride London has a new route into the beautiful countryside of Essex. Entry is free, but we ask that all riders aim to raise at least £500 in sponsorship. If you were one of the lucky ones who managed to secure a ballot place, we’d also love to have you in the saddle for #TeamERUK. Once you’re signed up, we’ll be on hand to help you prepare for the event and reach your fundraising target. You’ll receive this season’s must-have cycling garment – the Epilepsy Research UK jersey – and our team will be there on the big day with lively cheer points to give you a much-needed boost.
