Pop’s story
Last November, our world changed when our daughter, Poppy, was diagnosed with infantile spasms at just 5 months old—IS is a rare and severe form of paediatric epilepsy. In Poppy’s case her epilepsy was secondary to a neurological genetic condition.
Since then, we've been on a journey of uncertainty, resilience, and hope. We're supporting the Epilepsy Foundation because they provide crucial resources, research, and advocacy for families like ours navigating life with epilepsy.
If you're able, please consider donating to help fund better treatments, raise awareness, and support others walking a similar path.
Every contribution or walker makes a difference in raising awareness! 💜
We've created this team because..
We want to raise money and make a difference by taking part in Walk for Epilepsy. Please help us by giving whatever you can using the 'Donate' button. The more people that know about the walk, the greater the impact, so please also spread the word by sharing our page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
