Story
Some of you may have already heard of Teagan Appleby's story or may have seen it in the news recently
Teagan suffers from a very severe case of epilepsy where she can seizure up to 300 times a day. In April 2019 she started using a medication that isnt yet available here in the UK and it has changed her life. Teagan has gone from having hundreds of seizures a day to just a handful. This isn't the only improvement. Teagan has re-learnt skills doctors never thought she would get back. Her quality of life has dramatically improved
But, the NHS will not prescribe this medication even though it is now legal here in the UK. It is costing Teagan's parents £2500 per month and it's a struggle every month to find this amount of money.
If you can help in anyway, we would be very grateful xx
Please see updates xxxx
I have no words....I don't know how to thank everyone. Thank you just doesn't seem enough!! I need to do an update as the story on here is a little out of date. Today marks 2 years that the law was changed and the medication Teagan is on became legal. Unfortunately we still have NOT got an NHS prescription so are continuing to pay privately through a private doctor and then an import company who arranges the collection and delivery process. This all comes at a costly price. I am going to set up a new page which is more up to date x THANK YOU x
⭐THIS IS AN ONGOING PROCESS AS FUNDRAISING COSTS NEED TO BE MET EACH MONTH ⭐

4 years agoI would just like to thank each and every person that has donated. I have been advised to increase the target as the money that was previously raised on this page has unfortunately already been spent so it's not a true figure. We have to find approximately £2000 each month so this is an ongoing fundraiser, but on here you have to set a target. We are so so grateful for everyone's support. It means so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart xx

5 years agoTeagan has also built up a tolerance to these oils too! So we currently have to alternate between 3 different products to keep them as effective as possible. As you can imagine this gets expensive. Teagan is doing really well. I regularly update her Facebook page (Help for Teagan) with photos and videos of her progress. Teagan is 11 on Sunday (2nd Aug) and her perfect birthday gift would be a prescription on the NHS, but that isn't going to happen. And it breaks my heart that I can't give her that. Your support means everything, thank you xx
