Story

Zac is taking on an incredible 500-mile challenge for a cause close to his heart.

He’ll run and walk from his home in Surrey all the way to Manchester United, before getting on his bike and cycling the long journey back to Leatherhead.

Alongside Zac, his friends from the Youth Voice Network will be joining him virtually by taking their own challenges - big or small, physical or creative.

The Youth Voice Network is a community of over 240 young people with epilepsy, aged 13–25, from across the UK. Together, they make sure young people’s voices are at the heart of everything we do at Young Epilepsy — helping shape the charity’s work and campaigning for change.

This is a UK-wide challenge for young people living with epilepsy, by young people living with epilepsy!

Be part of Zac’s journey. Your donation will help make a real difference to young lives. It could go towards funding vital projects such as the Youth Voice Network and a new Multi Skills classroom at St Piers College
