Race Across Scotland 215 miles · 12 August 2023

Young Epilepsy is dedicated to standing up for children and young people with epilepsy. We’re here for them. But we need your support because epilepsy is limiting the chances of thousands of children today and may continue to do so for the rest of their lives. Together we create possible.

Story

Thank you for your time visiting my justgiving site. 

My story is quite simple. I started to run in 2016 as I felt that playing football once a week was not good enough for me to keep me fit and healthy. I started of with 3k, going to 5k, 10k and finally first half marathon which is 21,3k or 13.1 miles. In 2017 I run my first marathon and in 2018 started off with ultra marathons. Over next 3 years I have run countless number of half marathons, 8 marathons and 4 ultra marathons, the longest being 100 miles. I have decided to go even further and I have signed up for Race across Scotland, that race is 215 miles long. When signing up for that race I thought about my daughter Jagoda, who was diagnosed with Rolandic Beging Epilepsy when she was 8.  It is a mild epilepsy and thanks to medication she is seizure free for some time now. Jagoda is free, however most of the children must live with it and I have decided to try to change it, just a bit. I am raising money for Young Epilepsy so those young people might have a better chance of dealing with their epilepsy. I hope that with your help we will be able to raise this sum and help some children with their everyday fight. Thank you and God bless.
