Just quickly highlighting some brilliant work from @EpilepsyRUK on their #ALifeInterrupted campaign, highlighting the impact that epilepsy can have, and the lack of research funding in epilepsy... https://twitter.com/EpilepsyRUK/status/1313783072375046144
. @Dr_Rhys , clinician, epilepsy researcher, and one of ERUK's trustees, shares a really powerful testimony of the the impact that epilepsy can have on people, their careers, and their relationships: https://epilepsyresearch.org.uk/our-research/research-blog/alifeinterrupted/
ERUK have published a great report which covers in detail the impact of the condition, and why increased investment in epilepsy research is desperately needed.

They've also shared the stories of two brilliant young people, Doug and Ava, whose lives have been affected by epilepsy. They're beautiful to watch, but also terrifying.

The overall CTA is to invite people to shape epilepsy research, starting with a short questionnaire for people affected by epilepsy to fill out. https://epilepsyresearch.org.uk/alifeinterrupted/shape-network/
It's a fantastic campaign, a wide range of different resources and content which will appeal to different audiences, yet all focussed towards one clear message. Well done to the whole team at ERUK
