A CHARITY walk for the British Epilepsy Association has fallen victim to foot-and-mouth disease.

Pershore woman, Alison Jackson, had arranged the walk for the start of National Epilepsy week on Sunday, May 20, but has now put it back to September.

"It is terribly disappointing as we live in a very rural area and all pathways have been closed to the public. However it's a small setback and there is nothing that anybody can do," she said.

More than 25 people raised around £900 last year and Alison is aiming for a similar figure this time around.
