Raise Money
Running & Walking
Runners to the Rescue!
Calling all runners, joggers, walkers and crawlers, Epilepsy Scotland needs you to challenge yourself and raise funds to help support our vital epilepsy services! Whether you are a super-fit athletic type training for a marathon or simply fancy raising some money by hillwalking with the dogs, there are walking and running activities for people of all abilities to get involved in.
There are countless races and fun runs happening across Scotland and we want an Epilepsy Scotland representative in every one! If you run for us you will not only be getting fit and taking part in an experience of a lifetime, but you will be helping to raise awareness of epilepsy, and making a valuable contribution towards our lifeline services.
No matter where you are or your abilities there is a running event for you:

You can also help Stamp Out Stigma by organising your own sponsored walk, run, or even cycle, in aid of Epilepsy Scotland. From a saunter round the local park or a walk into town, to a hike along the West Highland Way or even climbing a Munro, all participants need to do is choose a route within their capabilities and go for it – raising funds and enjoying themselves in the process.
We can provide you with sponsor forms, help with publicity and offer fundraising support - just call the Fundraising department for more information on 0141 427 4911 or email us at fundraising@epilepsyscotland.org.uk
