Taking Seizures in Stride

Do you know anyone with epilepsy? It’s a condition in the brain that leads to seizures, which can be severe enough to include losing consciousness.

You might think that someone having more than a dozen of these seizures a day wouldn’t possibly be able to do something like run a marathon.

And yet, there’s Katie from Dublin.

Is there something in your life that makes something you want to do difficult? How do you deal with it?

Like Dr Doherty in this story, you may have a friend who helps you through things.

Or, you may be such a friend to others. How can you help someone else get through challenges?
