Through our research we can discover more about epilepsy and could tailor treatments to control people's seizures. Join us and help change these shocking statistics forever.
Amelia Roberts developed epilepsy age 16 and in five years had 830 seizures. Aged just 21 Amelia tragically died at home on the 20th December 2018.
Amelia's father Hamish Roberts said, "Her tragic death may have been prevented if we had been able to control Amelia's seizures. It is too late for our daughter but as a family we are determined to make sure that other families are not swallowed up by the grief that has consumed us."
Our research can make a difference to families like the Roberts. Join us to support epilepsy research.
