Parents of a man from Northumberland with epilepsy who died in his sleep have visited 10 Downing Street for the launch of a fundraising drive which could save lives.
Gary Lathan, 21, from Prudhoe, died at his home after finishing work at the town’s golf club, where he was the chef, in January 2006.
His parents have now attended Number 10, on the invitation of the Prime Minister’s wife, Samantha Cameron, for the launch of an appeal to raise funds for research into a device that could have saved Garry’s life.
They are also to host events to mark what would have been his 30th birthday, to raise money for the charity behind the appeal.
The Epilepsy Network is a worldwide community of people with epilepsy, family and friends, uniting to talk about their experiences, learn information about epilepsy, ask questions and so much more! Don’t let epilepsy defeat you, let it inspire you!
