My name is Teddy and I am 8 years old. I have lived with epilepsy for 6 years and it can be really hard. My seizures can come out of the blue and I have missed school, parties and playing out with friends more times than my mum said I should have to.

I am taking on the Walk 3 Miles a Day Challenge this June with help from my mum to raise money for the Epilepsy Society. The Epilepsy Society give support for people with epilepsy and are raising money to find research to stop people dying from it.

3 people a day lose their lives to epilepsy and every mile I walk will be in honour of each one. I will be walking with my mum and dad and the days that epilepsy stops me from doing this, one of them will step in.

Please help me with my challenge, from Teddy x
