We support children with epilepsy to help improve their quality of life.

Story

Most of you will be aware that Waverley has a little friend called Margot who is epileptic.  We have been privileged enough to get to know her and to understand her epilepsy. We all assume and expect, milestones such as sitting, crawling and those first few steps, however, children such as Margot don't get those first few moments or those choices... 

Amazingly there has been research into a diet called the "ketogenic diet" that has been proven to help epileptics to cope without intrusive drugs.  This diet enables children who have been inhibited by known anti-epileptic drugs to fulfill goals that previously would have been not possible.

It has been decided, much to Margot's mother's enjoyment, that I should SHAVE MY HEAD to raise money for children who are not as lucky as Waverley.

Please sponsor me to shave my head and raise money for children who need our help. The "event will take place on the 16th of April, we will have plenty of pictures to show you all!

The first bid is £100 so come and help me reach a total that will blow people away and you and I can think every day we helped - we are so lucky, so let's give.
