Great North Run 2021 · 12 September 2021 ·

Epilepsy Action is creating a world without limits for everyone affected by epilepsy, connecting people with others, and providing support and information you can trust. We’re calling out the misunderstanding, prejudice and barriers that stop people with epilepsy living their best life.

Story

During lockdown I lost my running mojo, missing group runs and it was harder with extra lockdown weight!

The ad for Great North Run came up and I thought it was good to have something to aim for and raise money for a great charity.

My son Max has had epilepsy for over 5 years. He has a complex form that has not been controlled by medication. Epilepsy Action has a fabulous helpline which I have used when I was frustrated with his treatment, or lack of! We are now waiting to hear if he is eligible for surgery.
