Story

<p>Epilepsy is a serious neurological condition that affects about 1% of the population. Too many people still die from epilepsy and further research is needed to help those with the condition.</p> <p>&nbsp;The Epilepsy Society is a charity very close to my heart. I have lived with epilepsy for over&nbsp;30 years having experienced some terrible lows and desperate moments.&nbsp;However I&nbsp;am very fortunate that my condition is now controlled with specialist medication and I live a near normal life suffering only from occasional nocturnal seizures.&nbsp;Many other people are not so lucky however and their condition is either not diagnosed or treated with the wrong medication.</p> <p>The Epilepsy Society is a leading medical charity that provides cutting edge research into the causes of epilepsy and provides expert care to those who suffer from severe forms of the condition.</p> <p>The research and care is expensive and is dependent on charitable donations. Your donation, large or small, will help improve the lives of so many people who find it difficult to live a normal life.</p> <p>Your generosity is appreciated and will help the Society to help people in the future as it has already helped me.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
