Although I'm lucky enough to be able to work and enjoy live with minimal disruption from my illness, many thousands of others are not - they rely on organisations like Epilepsy Action and its members.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
