My name is Sarah Williams, I’m 22 years old and I have epilepsy. My Youth Epilepsy website is for young people by young people living with epilepsy. There are a few information based epilepsy websites but none specifically designed with young people in mind.
When I was younger I wasn’t told what was wrong with me, and health professionals were talking to my parents and not me – the most important person. I had to learn as I got older what epilepsy actually is. I don’t want other young people with epilepsy to have to battle their way to the answers of the questions they might have about the condition – I was confused and isolated.
This website has the information that you need to begin to understand and come to terms with the big E. From the different types of epilepsy out there, to possible triggers, useful contacts, personal stories and a quiz – it’s all on here!
I plan to take my Youth Epilepsy support campaign as far as I possibly can. My ultimate goal is to run a charity based organisation for young people with epilepsy.
