My Story

The 26 March is Purple Day, the international day for epilepsy and I am hosting an event to help the Epilepsy Society Stamp Out Seizures and transform lives through their world leading research.

Why we need your support

1 in 100 people in the UK are living with epilepsy, and a third of those have seizures that cannot be controlled by medication.

In the first few months after the start of pandemic our fundraising income dropped by over 50%. Now more than ever we need your support to keep our research projects and support services going for those who need them most.

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

Every £5 you raise over the target could help distribute tailored information abut epilepsy, ensuring the first five leaflets are free

Every £20 you raise over the target could ensure that someone who desperately needs to talk about their epilepsy can call our helpline

Every £50 you raise over the target could help forward our world-leading research projects, leading to more accurate, personalised treatment
