Meet Sophie
Sophie was just 11 years old when she began to have seizures and was diagnosed with a form of epilepsy. She suffered multiple seizures a day – even with very high doses of medicine – leaving her constantly at risk of serious injury. But thanks to a breakthrough research project, funded by Action, 21-year-old Sophie is now seizure-free. She has gone on to visit 30 countries and is now in her last year of university.
