I am taking part in Epilepsy Society's 60 Miles in September challenge to raise awareness for the 60,000 children diagnosed with epilepsy in the UK.

My little sister Amelia was one of those children, diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 4. Epilepsy has played a big part in all our lives so we want to raise money to help all those other children and people living with epilepsy.

Any donation that you are able to make will help them to continue their incredible work and will spur me on throughout my challenge! Below you can see how your donation could help.

£75 could pay for lab equipment such as PCR tubes which are essential for DNA extraction. This DNA can be stored and analysed in multiple research studies aimed at helping to control seizures.

£240 could pay for our trained Helpline operators to support 10 callers with concerns relating to living with epilepsy including parents and carers.

£400 could provide 10 hours of focused work from one of our world class researchers, pushing forward the discoveries that could help bring a seizure free future for children.

Thank you so much for your support!
