easyJet has already made a corporate donation of £50,000 to the epilepsy charity,
and is looking to boost the total by making on board collections during July and
August.

McCaskill is Vice President of NSE. He was joined on the flight by NSE’s Director
of External Relations David Josephs who, with his son Dominic, is fronting the easyJet
campaign which will help fund epilepsy research.
