WHY I’M RUNNING
Last year, I stood at the start line of my first 10K at Thorpe Park, running in support of Epilepsy Society. I didn’t know what to expect. I just knew I had to try.
It wasn’t easy. There were moments I questioned whether I could finish at all. But I did, and I raised just over £300. Crossing that finish line wasn’t just about the run. It was about proving to myself that epilepsy doesn’t get to define my limits.
This year, I wanted something bigger. Something that scared me a little. So I’m taking on a 10K trail run along the rugged Dorset coast at Lulworth Cove, and this time I’m aiming to raise £500 for Epilepsy Action.
Because living with epilepsy is not just about managing a condition, it’s about learning to live fully in spite of it. And sometimes, that means doing things that feel just out of reach, and doing them anyway.
There are still days where doubt creeps in. Days where I wonder if I’m pushing too far. But I’ve learned that growth doesn’t come from comfort, it comes from stepping forward even when you’re not sure you’ll make it.
I’m not running to prove I’m better than anyone else. I’m running to remind myself (and hopefully others living with epilepsy) that we are capable of far more than we sometimes believe.
If you can, please support Epilepsy Action in helping create a world without limits for people affected by epilepsy. Every donation, no matter the size, helps turn uncertainty into possibility.
