This Purple Day, I'm taking part in the 26 miles in 26 days Challenge to help raise awareness and life changing funds for children and young people with epilepsy.

I was diagnosed with epilepsy on Friday 13 October 2023. It has been a scary time, being only 8 year old and going to lots of appointments; brain scans, trips to A and E, hospital stays and waking up lots of times in hospital not even knowing I’ve had seizures.

When I was diagnosed a lot of people did not know or had ever heard of my condition. That is why I not only want to raise funds but also awareness of epilepsy to help people understand more and give something back after all the support and care I have been given.

Please make a donation to my page today. If you'd like to join me in the challenge then you can sign up here: https://youngepilepsy.beaconforms.com/form/7ad50ea1

Purple Day on 26th of March is the International Day of Epilepsy awareness. Epilepsy can be one of the most frightening and isolating conditions children can experience. Help show them that we're on their team.

Show your support and help create a future where young people with epilepsy are heard, and they get the support they need, when they need it, no matter what.
