I’m taking part in Walk for Epilepsy because...

I want to raise money and make a difference for people living with epilepsy. When Maisie began having seizures in February of 2024 at just 4 years old I was terrified, confused and didn’t know where to turn. We need to fund more research into this condition as a lot of the time I’m being told “we just don’t know” in answer to my many questions as a mum of someone with epilepsy. 

Please help me 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!

My Why

Sunday 10th Aug
In February of 2024 my Maisie daughter had her first focal seizure at kindy. It was the scariest phone call I have ever received in my life. It was then a month and a half later on Easter Saturday that I witnessed a seizure and it went for 10mins, the absolute worst and longest 10mins of my life. She was diagnosed with Self-Limiting Autonomic Focal Epilepsy in April of 2024.

Since this date Maisie has 20 seizures ranging from tonic clonic seizures lasting up to 3mins to almost absent seizures lasting 10-20 seconds that include strange behaviour and “zone outs”. 

We continue to make changes to medication and see the neurologist, but it feels like a lot of trial and error which is absolutely terrifying when it comes to the health and safety of your child. 

I really believe more research is needed about this condition. It has been said to me that not a lot is known about childhood epilepsy as children respond well to medication so they don’t tend to dig deeper.
