Epilepsy: Girl, 7, wins award after mum has seizure

Epilepsy affects around one in every 100 people in the UK and 80 people are diagnosed every day.

Lucy, who was diagnosed with the condition when she was 17, believes epilepsy is a “misunderstood condition”.

“There are many different types of epilepsy and seizures. All of these things people don’t quite understand,” she added.

Ms Cox said not enough people know what to do when they see someone having a seizure.

She said: “It’s very important that people understand what a person with epilepsy may require if they are in a difficult situation.”

Rebekah Smith, interim chief executive at Epilepsy Action, said Aisha was commended for her “swift and brave response”.

“The whole team at Epilepsy Action is inspired by Aisha’s actions, and we hope that they will inspire others too, to learn what to do when someone is having a seizure,” she said.
