“ We exist to improve the lives
of everyone affected by epilepsy ”

My greatest achievement is...

getting good grades and living a happy life.

I am 15 years old, and I have had epilepsy for 9 years.

Through those 9 years I have learnt that it can be hard to live with when your ill because it can become quite frustrating. But I have been able to carry on and achieve the grades in school that I have wanted to.

I have also shown many people how high spirited I am with my epilepsy even when I'm ill. Nobody should ever feel upset or angry with their health because it is really that extra little gift from God that gives us the power to challenge our life.

best wishes,

Elizabeth
