Laura says: “I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 11. I have been seizure free for 11 years now and I really want to give something back to Epilepsy Action who have helped me a lot. I was so nervous before the jump but it was fantastic! So far I have managed to raise just over £1,000, which I am really pleased with.”
