Hi, my name is Chris, and I was diagnosed with Focal Epilepsy in October 2023. I had been experiencing short bouts of dyslexia and was sent for a brain scan, which found a benign tumor. Fortunately, my medication regime appears to be managing the condition, and I am back driving and working full-time. In February this year I also completed a MSc in Disability & Inclusion from Deakin University.
40 years ago, in April 1985 I ran the London Marathon (42 km) setting my personal best time of 2 hours 43 mins and to mark the 40th Anniversary I'll again be taking part in the London Marathon- significantly slower this time :-)
I would love to accept donations from people sponsoring me for my folly and to raise funds for Epilepsy ACT.
Go well Chris!
