"A week later I had multiple seizures in the space of a few minutes. That was a really heartbreaking time as I have wanted to drive for as long as I can remember. It was the closest I had ever gotten to that dream and was suddenly taken again."

Take a moment to learn about the lived experience of epilepsy through Grace's story this #EpilepsyWeek.
