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

My greatest achievement is...

being able to read as good as my school friends.

I'm eight years old, but this time last year I struggled with my reading and was 2 years behind my class mates.

After lots of hard work, support from school and my brilliant teacher and teaching assistants I can finally read without sounding out every single letter of every word.

I love reading now and mum says that "This is an amazing achievement for me".

Best wishes,

Thea and mum Gina x
