My name is Ryan Nicholson and I am 9 yrs old. I had my first seizure in April 2018. I was diagnosed with epilepsy in May 2018. Epilepsy is part of my life now and I take medicine twice a day.

Anyone who knows me will know that I love gymnastics. My epilepsy hasn't stopped me training hard and doing what I love. I have decided to try and raise money for Epilepsy Scotland. 

I will attempt to complete 5000 circles over my pommel in 7 days, from the 1st to the 7th of March. The epilepsy nurses and doctors have been very good at looking after me. If you have any money you can give to sponsor me, that would be great. Thanks. Ryan
