We are a Small group of friends and family raising money for the Young Epilepsy Charity. Amy Norton's Daughter Ella is 9 years old and was diagnosed with Epilepsy in 2019 but started with severe symptoms in 2018. Through this time Ella have faced many challenge's learning about her condition and learning to adapt and cope with day to day life , recognising symptoms and been able to get herself safe for when an episode does occur. Amy her mum has dealt with massive highs and lows throughout Ella's journey also learning how to adapt. Despite all the challenges has come out fighting just like Ella and with support of specialists and Epilepsy nurses has conquered her fear of the diagnosis and now is living each day more full than before. Amy now wants to give back and help those who need support when a young person or child is diagnosed with epilepsy, and ticking off a bucket list challenge to boot. So has decided what better way than getting those closest to her to help her tick one off by doing the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge.
