Welcome to the September issue of our e-newsletter. What a summer it’s been: hundred mile cycle rides, countless running events, a triathlon, midnight walks, concerts, gala dinners – we're relieved we didn't do them all personally as we wouldn't have had the energy to plan our Pyjama Party!

... but no need to get dressed! Our Pyjama Party is a whole week (19 - 27 October) dedicated to fundraising fun in your pyjamas.

Inspired by the patients of The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, many of whom have to spend a lot of time in their pyjamas, this week allows people to show support wearing their PJs o raise much-needed money for the hospital.

People have got some brilliant ideas for events: from cake sales, to Rag Week celebrations, face painting, discos, sponsored walks, a onesie party and a pyjama school run. We’ve even got a military base in the north of Scotland taking part as well as Radio Croydon so the word is truly out!

Why not join us at our very own Pyjama Party Film Night on 24 October at the Court House Hotel, London. We'll be screening 'Grease' in the luxurious, private 94-seat cinema. Our pyjama clad guests will enjoy a complimentary glass of wine (or soft drink) in the hotel bar - formerly the prison cells where Oscar Wilde awaited trial - before the film is screened. With free popcorn and chocolate on offer too, book your tickets now.

We've got lots of amazing celebrity support this year so watch this space, keep checking our website and the press for more details... In the meantime, we are delighted that Xfm DJ Lliana Bird has taken up the challenge and is wearing her Funzee onesie to work. Why not do the same...?

If you’re worried your pyjamas aren’t quite fit for a public airing we’ve got the solution to that too.

Funzee, the UK’s number one supplier of adult onesies, is supporting this year’s campaign; and up till 27 October is offering a 15% discount off its entire range (use discount code ‘BRAINAPPEAL’ at the checkout). What's more, Funzee are donating 10% of every online sale to The National Brain Appeal.

We really do need your help.

Please forward this to all your family and friends (and their friends too).
