Intractable Epilepsy help children and young adults with intractable forms of epilepsy. There is an estimated 30,000 people in the UK, who do not respond to routine treatments that help control seizures.

Some hold private prescriptions for medicinal cannabis which massively reduces their seizures and was legalised for medical use in 2018. Like six year old Oliver who we recently helped maintain continued access to his prescription over Christmas. Ground Breaking charity steps in to help six year old child

Medicinal cannabis is sometimes the only medication that reduces, and for some it completely stops, seizures. It is not yet routinely prescribed by the NHS so families have to find up to £2,500 per month for these medications to be prescribed privately. This has become increasingly difficult if not impossible in the current cost of living crisis.

You can help this January by walking or running 50 miles whilst helping raise funds for an awesome ground breaking charity. You could get the whole family involved and spend some quality time walking together, or get all your friends involved as a group, or just get out alone for some you time, to raise your fitness after Christmas and New Year.
