A TEENAGER whose mother has epilepsy has raised money for young sufferers.
Haley Evans, 18, presented a cheque for £100 to the Teenage Epilepsy Group at West Lane Hospital, Middlesbrough.
The money was raised through a series of tombolas and raffles organised by Haley, a student at Middlesbrough College, and her friends.
Children's epilepsy nurse Di Tregonning said: "Haley chose to support the local teenage epilepsy group because she knows what it is like to live with an epilepsy sufferer."
The epilepsy group is also desperate for a meeting place with facilities for young people and volunteer drivers to take youngsters to meetings.
