Almost 1 child every hour in the UK is diagnosed with Epilepsy. A couple of weeks ago it was Eva’s turn. She has been diagnosed with having focal structure seizures. Essentially, this is caused by the messages in her brain bouncing off the scar tissue from her brain injury at birth and not being able to travel in the correct way. Eva has made unimaginable progress since she was born, so it was safe to say we didn’t see this coming and the scan results were a massive shock.

A few days later #youngepilesy popped on my news feed with a 100miles in October challenge and it only felt right that I took part. The money they raise helps to support young children throughout school, college and university along with research that improve diagnosis and treatment. More than likely a charity Eva will come across at some point in her young life.

I’m on mile 30 of the challenge already, if you could please donate to this amazing charity and support me along the way I’d hugely appreciate it!
