Fundraising for Young Epilepsy

Our team at Footsteps Day Nursery will be walking 26 miles on the 26th March live at Nursery!

Did you know that thousands of children and young people live with epilepsy every day? Many face challenges in school, social life, and their health that most of us never see.

We are raising money for Young Epilepsy, an incredible charity that supports children and young people with epilepsy through education, research, and life-changing support.

Every donation – big or small – can help provide specialist care, vital research, and opportunities for young people living with epilepsy to thrive.

If you can, please donate or share this post to help spread the word. Together we can make a real difference.

Walk 50 miles in February
Want to join me in making a difference? I’m raising money to benefit Young Epilepsy, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

At the age of 7, Shaan had his first seizure. I didn’t know he had had a seizure but knew something wasn’t right as he was not responding and this is where his journey starts and his life changes.

It has been a year and a half and Shaan has had 4 different types of medication to help control his seizures.

we hopefully are now on the right path but he is also suffering with lots of side effects which effects his daily and school life.

Shaan asks when he will be normal again , obviously he is normal but his life and ours have changed drastically.

Shaan has decided to raise some money for the charity and to spread awareness.

Walk 26 miles in March for Young Epilepsy
Hi,

Some of you may or may not be aware that my daughter was diagnosed with epilepsy in May 2025 following two seizures. Olivia was started on medication straight away and since then we are so pleased to say she has been seizure free (something that we are extremely grateful about) however so many other children aren’t as lucky.

if you were to look at Olivia you would think that she was a healthy child however not all conditions are noticeable. It has been a very stressful time for us all but Olivia has taken it so well. I am raising money for this amazing charity by walking 26 miles in March.

Any amount big or small will make a huge difference for children who suffer with this awful condition. Thank you so much xx

100 Miles in October
Want to join me in making a difference? I’m raising money to benefit Young Epilepsy, by walking 100 miles in October. All moonies raised will help towards causes and treatments of epilepsy, and work directly with young people to offer life-changing diagnostic services and rehabilitation.

Participating in this challenge is so important to me and very close to my heart. I have epilepsy myself, however I am a very determined young lad and I don't let this define me, even though it has such an impact on my day to day life.

I am really enjoying this challenge, even though I find it hard to accept that I also have to allow my body to rest after a seizure because I am very determined and will just keep going! :-)

Any donations will be greatly appreciated & towards a fantastic cause.

From PJ.

Bournemouth Half marathon for Lily

Hi everyone, and thanks for visiting my page.

This year, I’ll be taking on the Bournemouth Half Marathon in memory of my amazing cousin, Lily, who sadly passed away due to epilepsy. Losing Lily was heartbreaking for all of us — she was full of life, laughter, and love. I wanted to do something positive in her memory, something that could make a difference for other young people and families affected by epilepsy.

• Helping families navigate life with epilepsy

• Funding research to improve treatment and find a cure

• Raising awareness so no one feels alone or misunderstood

How You Can Help

I’m asking for your support to help me reach my fundraising goal.

Whether it’s £5 or £50, every bit counts and goes directly towards helping young people with epilepsy live happy, healthy, and full lives.

Raising funds and awareness for Young Epilepsy :)
Hi, I’m running a 5k in September to raise money and awareness for epilepsy, with my Mum and my Aunt, through the charity Young Epilepsy:) https://www.youngepilepsy.org.uk/

Young Epilepsy is the only charity in the UK dedicated to helping children from nursery and school age, up until University. You can find more information on what they do and about epilepsy on their website and social media.

This charity is so important to so many, as they have created a community of support, awareness and fundraising. After my recent diagnosis I’ve faced some hard changes to my health and my lifestyle, but I am lucky enough to have had amazing support from my family and friends. Not everyone is lucky enough to have this, which is why it is incredibly important that there is more awareness and support for epilepsy in children. Thank you so much for the support!

Islay’s Great North Run for Young Epilepsy
I love running and am really excited to be joining in with the Great North Run next month. Having been in training for this half-marathon since last September, I’m fundraising for Young Epilepsy, a cause that matters to our family as my aunt Lorna lived with this condition. The charity supports and empowers young people living with epilepsy by offering information, guidance and health services. They also pioneer research to improve epilepsy diagnosis and treatment, and campaign for the rights of children living with the condition. The wide range of services that Young Epilepsy provides are shaped and inspired by the stores of young people through their Youth Voice Network. The charity’s commitment to protecting the right for every child to have their opinions heard and taken seriously is inspiring and I can’t wait to support this very worthwhile cause.

On September 7th I’ll be running together with my friend Immy, her brother and her dad. I’m looking forward to challenging myself to run a half marathon, which is the longest distance I’ve ever run. I’m hoping for a great atmosphere on the day and to be surrounded by others who are also running in memory of friends or family members. Please sponsor me!
