Make content about: Emily works across three roles
Severe epilepsy once isolated Emily. Now 28, she works across three roles, swims, and fills her days with friends.
This story
Emily has Lennox-Gastaut, a severe form of epilepsy that caused dangerous seizures and social isolation. Surgery and revised medications helped manage her condition and restored her outgoing personality. At 28, she lives in supported care where she works weekly shifts across a cafe, shop, and reception, while her father David recently completed a skydive to raise funds for her home.
Where you could take it
Shadow Emily during her weekly shift at the cafe and sit down with her and David to hear how his skydive went.
