I am ultimately trying to raise research funding for Epilepsy Research UK.

I have written a soundtrack that covers how epilepsy affects individuals and families daily, without us even realising it. I want to produce a video that will depict the song to visually portray how this might manifest itself, being it going for a walk, or simply trying to eat your breakfast.

The reason that I'm doing this work is because my 11 year old son had his first seizure at just 6 weeks old. His seizures are not controlled by medication or medical implants such as his VNS implant. I want to help fund the next generation of epilepsy research, which needs hard cash.

The reason I thinks it's important to spend this amount of money on an awareness video is that people simply don't realise how epilepsy affects people's lives. We need to be more epilepsy aware, even I believed all the misconceptions about epilepsy.

In donating to this cause you will be helping not only me, but everyone affected by epilepsy. There is still stigma around today, where people are uncomfortable talking about it. I want that to change.

In talking about it, we can learn to understand epilepsy, and more importantly, those who have it.

If we receive donations over and above what we need to produce the video, this will be donated to Epilepsy Research UK

Many thanks

Simon
