Run for Us… And the one in six people in the UK with neurological disorders!
The Brighton Half Marathon on 19 February is an ideal opportunity to burn off those unwanted Christmas pounds. It’s now in its 22nd year and is one of the longest running and most popular sea front road races in the UK.
Ten million people in the UK suffer from a neurological disorder. This can be from birth, through a slowly developing illness or through brain injury.
The National Brain Appeal is the charity dedicated to raising much-needed funds for The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in Queen Square, London.
We help raise money for the latest technology and equipment vital in this fast moving field. We also support research programmes and fund state of the art building projects and refurbishments. We have raised almost £40 million since 1984 when the charity first began.

The St David’s Day Run is on 4th March 2012 and has 3 catagories:
A 1.5k family fun run. A 5k which is a Welsh championship race and a 10k.
This is a fantastic day out for all the family and the routes are flat and fast.
The St David’s Day Run was first organised in 2003 and was the idea of Mr Huw Lewis MBE. Mr Lewis wanted to organise an event highlighting the Wales’s national holiday and raise money for a local charity. Over the years the event has gone from strength to strength and raised thousands for local charities such as Help a South Wales Child. As the run is run on the weekend closest to St David’s Day it always attracts some fantastic costumes and we have now added a prize for the best dressed runner. The run takes in some spectacular views of the capital whilst running around Bute Park. The run originally was just a 5K and 1K run but in 2009 we added a 10K class after much interest. The run has always been a family day out with entertainment provided by locals.
