Dig Deep
While we wait for Saturday and more new Who, I wanted to take a short sidestep into the real world for a moment.
One of my best friends, Gwyn, suffers from a mild form of epilepsy, and she is trying to raise awareness of the condition through raising money for the Epilepsy Foundation, an American-based organisation dedicated to funding research into the condition in the ongoing hope that greater progress can be made towards understanding it, and eventually curing it.
Have a look at her words on her page here:
http://www.epilepsyfoundation.org/eCommunities/heroes/index.cfm?user_id=1231
The condition hit her out of the blue when she was 18, and is still with her today. It's something that is misunderstood by many people, and it's really not a nice illness to have to live with.
So, if you feel moved to spare a few pounds (or dollars depending on where you are reading this), then please consider donating through the link on Gwyn's page on the Foundation website above.
Thanks so much.
