Story

Thank you for taking the time to view our just giving page. On Sunday 10th October 2021 we are going to be doing a Half marathon to raise money for young epilepsy. This is a charity that is very close to our hearts. Lisa's son Oliver has had epilepsy since he was 1 years old. Oliver is the kindest and most loving boy you could ever meet and we are extremely proud of him. He has been through so much over the years, but thankfully his seizures are now controlled by medication. With your support, we can raise money for medical research and bring a greater understanding to this wonderful charity. Every little bit helps this charity and means so much to us. We believe that together we can make a difference.

We are also running for a friends son, Leo O'Brien, who is only 8 years old and suffers terribly from seizures. The hospital are investigating why he has these seizures and this is exactly why the charity need all the support they can get.

The worry that parents have to face every day for their little ones is overwhelming and we hope that by raising what we can for this charity will really go a long way to supporting the charity in so many ways.
