Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me for Epilepsy Scotland! This is the most efficient way for me to raise money and every single penny really helps.
My challange is to cross the finish line (26 mls). For many children and adults living with epilepsy it is the uncertaintity of knowing if their friends will be there for them following a seizure. There is so much stigma and ignorance surrounding epilepsy that it makes it very hard for not only the individual but family and friends as well. I know i've been there and although things are looking "brighter" a lot needs to be done to educate and provide essential services to people living with epilepsy. Remember it can effect you at any time in your life and demands some major lifestyle changes.
Please give as much as you can to encourage my effort! This is a challange to me but in comparison to a child who has to come to terms with growing up with seizures, daily medication (possible side effects) and facing the unknown. Need I ask who has the easier task?

If you are a UK taxpayer your donation will be increased by almost a third at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support. Angus
