Walk for Mason

We are doing a sponsored walk on the 8th September 2017 from Redditch B&Q to Birmingham City Centre in aid of a young boy named mason in order for his parents to get him the equipment he needs to have a better quality of life and to raise awareness for his condition. Mason was diagnosed with a condition called Lennox-gastuat syndrome; this syndrome usually begins between the ages 3 and 5, but can start as late as adolescence. Children may have several different types of seizures with this syndrome. These include tonic where muscles suddenly become stiff atonic where muscles suddenly relax myoclonic, tonic clonic and atypical absences. Atypical absences often last longer than normal absences and are different as a child may be responsive and aware of their surroundings many children also develop learning difficulties as well as behaviour problems. This condition is hard to treat but researchers are looking for new therapies. Finding practical and emotional support is key to help you give your child the best quality of life while facing the challenges and stress the illness brings. We appreciate your support for Mason and his family.
