Raising funds for Epilepsy research

Waiwhetu, Lower Hutt

I'm Benjamin,

When I was 4 , just before my family moved to New Zealand, I developed severe epilepsy. The prognosis was that I would never be able to function normally.

Thanks to God, my parents got in touch with a Neurlogy professor who was trialing a new experimental drug. Thank God, it worked, and we were able to come to New Zealand where I grew up and went to school as normal.

Thank God, I've been off medicine since I was 10, and I am now working as an Engineer! I want to give back by using my upcoming Half marathon to raise funds for Epilepsy research to help other kids like me.
