Campaign: | To encourage an understanding of epilepsy |
I have epilepsy which is a condition that, for me, causes daily seizures.
I had my first seizure when I was 7. Now, I can never be on my own because there is a concern that those around me wouldn’t always know what to do.
My situation is uncommon. There are different types of epilepsy and with Fixers, I want to help others understand that. It’s not something to be afraid of.
I feel that it’s important that people know how to react, in case someone with the condition needs assistance.
Here is a list of Fixers helping me with this Fix:
Alexandra Morris | Alex Randall |
Catherine Watson | Daniella Tye |
Jodie Tubbs | Robson Summers |
Samantha Stork | Thomas Oldridge |
