Story

Want to join us in supporting a good cause? We’re doing a challenge to help children and young people with epilepsy. We’ll be doing 26 miles in 26 days, ending in purple day on the 26th March.

Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate £5 or £500. Every little bit helps. Thank you for your support.

Epilepsy can be one of the most frightening and isolating conditions a young person can experience. Together we can improve research, treatment and practical support.

Harry was diagnosed with Epilepsy when he was 3 and a half years old and it impacts every aspect of his and our lives. He has multiple types of seizures, is currently on 5 types of medication and his learning, behaviour, attention and focus and independence are significantly impacted by it. 💜

In addition to this, we lost our beautiful cousin Sarah to SUDEP a year ago and we really miss her. 💜

By raising money for Epilepsy charities, we hope to be able to support research into what is an incredibly complex condition that still needs to be better understood.
