Andrew Redhead was born in 1943 but in spite of having epilepsy as a child, he wasn't properly diagnosed until the age of 17. As a result he was often punished at school for his poor attention span, when in fact he was actually experiencing seizures alongside his dyslexia.

Andrew experienced much stigma due to his epilepsy. And side effects from his medication often impacted on his social life and development throughout his teenage years and early '20s.

After a change of medication during his course of treatment at the Epilepsy Society, Andrew's health and seizure control improved dramatically and he was able to go back to work full time. His family also received support and information from Epilepsy Society.

Andrew left a gift in his Will to the Epilepsy Society. His brother Paul says that this was his thank you for the medical treatment and support he had received from the Epilepsy Society. “He really appreciated being looked after by people who recognised that his epilepsy was as important and significant in his life as he felt it was.” The Epilepsy Society is the UK’s only charity transforming the lives of people with epilepsy through world-leading research, advocacy and care. A gift in your Will means we can continue to transform lives for generations to come.
