SIR – I am writing to ask your readers to support people with epilepsy by getting involved in Epilepsy Action’s charity Wonga Walks.

These charity Wonga Walks are taking place across the country to mark National Epilepsy Week, which runs from May 15 to 21.

The week launches with the Epilepsy Action Ladybower Wonga Conga at the Ladybower Reservoir in the Peak District on May 15.

National Epilepsy Week aims to raise awareness of epilepsy and raise funds to help support the 456,000 people living with epilepsy in the UK.

Last year, Wonga Walks all over the country helped raise an incredible £20,000 for Epilepsy Action. With everyone’s help, we hope to do even better this year.

To find out how to take part in a Wonga Walk or for information about organising your own event, visit epilepsy.org.uk/wongawalks You can also call the fundraising team on (0113) 2108800.
