This October, my daughter Elsie and I are taking part in the 100 Miles in October Challenge to help raise awareness and life changing funds for children and young people with epilepsy.

Elsie was diagnosed with focal epilepsy last year, and has experienced thousands of small seizures in her 16 years, but this summer, while on holiday in Malaysia she suffered her first ever serious tonic clonic seizure. It was incredibly frightening for everyone, not least of all Elsie who then spent time in a small Malaysian hospital. Her life has now changed forever. The fear of it happening again is with her every day.

We are walking to raise awareness and funds to help research this frightening condition.
