Energetic TV star Charlie Dimmock is appealing for like minded people
to join her this weekend as she climbs Ben Nevis to raise money for the
British Epilepsy Association (BEA).
The star of hit TV gardening show Ground Force is supporting the British
Epilepsy Association (BEA) in its annual fundraising trek to raise awareness
of the condition which affects around 420,000 people in the UK.
She said: "Having a friend with epilepsy I can understand the need
to tackle discrimination surrounding epilepsy and to bring it out into
the open."
Last year the BEA raised around £25,000 from the Ben Nevis Challenge
with over 100 people taking part.
The BEA are looking for participants of all abilities to join the climb
which takes place September 14th to 16th. Anyone interested should call
(0113) 210 8800.
