We have teamed up with Skyline to be able to offer Young Epilepsy Supporters the chance to take on a life changing challenge. With 20 skydiving centres across the UK there is bound to be one near you.
The experience of freefalling is one you’ll never forget! All tandem jumps take place with a fully qualified skydiving instructor so all your need to do is ensure you open your eyes to take in the view!
Together, we create possible
No child should live in fear of their own body. Seizures can be frightening and they can leave children in pain, feeling confused and alone.
Nearly every hour, another child or young person in the UK is diagnosed with epilepsy.
Show your support by taking on the challenge and help stop the fear of seizures.
Breakthrough treatments and day to day support can transform their lives. Together we can create a future where every child with epilepsy can live seizure free
