Helen’s story:

“We’ve supported Epilepsy Action for 15 years, our daughter Katy became a member soon after her diagnosis at 24. We sadly lost her through SUDEP and honour her life by making it to the Great North Run every year.”

As part of the Celebrating Katy team, Helen and the team have raised over £102,000 to date.
