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

We are Super excited to win a place in the Superhero Tri alongside our Celebrity Team Captain- David Wiseman, Invictus Games, Architect & Champion.

Miles has Lennox Gastaut Syndome, a rare Drug resistant Epilepsy with complex medical needs. He has exhausted almost all medications, followed the Ketogenic Diet and has a Vagal Nerve Stimulator inserted. Despite this, Seizures remain relentless and medications have contributed to Osteoporosis with deteriorating mobility, awaiting surgery. Miles really is a Super Hero.

So when we saw the challenge, we applied as we think Miles is a truly resilient Young Man, whom is constantly singing and smiling, despite his daily challenges and complex health needs.

We were delighted to hear the Super Hero Series also liked Miles story and he will be teaming Up with David and another Superhero Steve on the Day

Miles attends Young Epilepsy, St Piers, a truly amazing school, that can cater for his needs whilst providing lots of fun and opportunities. In particular Miles loves horse riding, boating, wheelchair basketball, Forest school, the list is endless .

Please feel free to pop down to Dorney Lake, Windsor SL4 6FJ on 12th August, to cheer us on or support us through our Just Giving Page to raise funds for Young Epilepsy and further research into Epilepsy.

Miles and I will be participating in the 1Km Push/Run
