Story

As many of you know epilepsy has been in our lives for a while but this summer we were rocked with Florence's diagnosis. It has been one of the scariest times of our lives and scary for Flo too. I wanted to raise money for this amazing charity to be able to continue all the fantastic work they do. We never want epilepsy to hold Florence back from doing what she wants to do and something she should never feel worried about sharing with others.

This Purple Day, I'm taking part in the 26 miles in 26 days Challenge to help raise awareness and life changing funds for children and young people with epilepsy.

Please make a donation to my page today. If you'd like to join me in the challenge then you can sign up here: https://youngepilepsy.beaconforms.com/form/7ad50ea1

Any little bit helps, I know times are tough for everyone but even if it is 20p, it will help all the amazing children and young people with epilepsy out there!!

Purple Day on 26th of March is the International Day of Epilepsy awareness. Epilepsy can be one of the most frightening and isolating conditions children can experience. Help show them that we're on their team.

Show your support and help create a future where young people with epilepsy are heard, and they get the support they need, when they need it, no matter what.
