In February 2023 I had my first 2 seizures within the space of 12 hours. The next 6 months served up another 5 seizures, multiple shoulder dislocations and one shoulder fracture. I was then finally diagnosed with epilepsy. As of November 2024 I am just over a year seizure free and hoping to keep that going for as long as possible.

Now that life has settled down and returned to as normal as can be I thought it would be a good idea to get my running trainers on and run the 2025 London Landmarks Half Marathon for the Epilepsy Society. Epilepsy Society is the UK's only charity transforming the lives of people living with epilepsy through world-leading research, advocacy and care.

Any donation that you are able to make will help them to continue their incredible work and will spur me on throughout my training! Below you can see how your donation could help.

£20 could help to ensure that someone who desperately needs to talk about their epilepsy can call our helpline.

£50 could help forward our world-leading research projects, leading to more accurate, personalised treatment.

£100 could help our research team to analyse genomics data, which will lead to better seizure control.

Thank you so much for your support!
