My story

Hello and thanks for taking the time to visit my page.

This year I'll be doing the Coniston 14 race again but this time I'll be raising money for Young Epilepsy (please visit their site and discover the great work they do).

The reason I have chosen this charity is because in May last year our beautiful little granddaugher Isabelle was diagnosed with Epilepsy. The impact both emotionally and mentally that this has had on all our lives has been massive, I'm just so glad our Little Belle is still too young to understand what is happening to her.

We have been at the hospital with our belle many times over the past few months when she has suffered from a really bad episode, when she has fitted so bad that they have had to give her large doses of drugs to relax her so much that the she needs to be put on a ventilator to help her to breath, to see her tiny little body on a large hopsital bed with wires, tubes and monitors attached to her is heart wrenching, and each time you're never quite sure what the outcome will be.

On a more positive note, more recently her medication has been changed and she seems to be reacting better, she is still undergoing lots of tests and hopefully one day soon they will find the right medication that will control her condition so she can lead as normal life as possible while she grows up.

Please try and donate whatever you can afford to this very worthy charity, no matter how small the donation it is still very much appreciated and remember Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate...
