Brighton Racecourse, Family Fun Day
Announcing our Ring20 sponsored Race Day!
This September, we will be out in force raising awareness (and hopefully funds!) at Brighton racecourse for their annual Family Fun Day.
Our volunteers will be hosting an information stand to engage the public in a conversation about rare epilepsies and r(20) syndrome, and with information in the racecard and media/TV coverage on the day we hope that we can make a huge difference to general knowledge, stigma and misconceptions about difficult to treat epilepsies and why individuals and their families deserve better support, treatment and care.
We aim to host a meet-up for all our Ring20 family members who are able to come along and join us for the day. Why not make it a family day out or weekend away with a unique opportunity to meet with other r(20) families.
Don’t forget to bring a picnic (no drinks allowed other than water bottles). There are lots of food and beverage options onsite too.
