What Happens Now?

Once you click on 'Submit', your details will be sent through to the press office here at Epilepsy Action. They will be held on file until we get a request from a journalist where we think your story is suitable for the journalist's requirements. At that point we will contact you to ask if you would be happy to talk to the journalist.

We will not pass your contact details on to any journalist without speaking to you first.
