A Weymouth woman wants to raise awareness about epileptic conditions by completing a charity walk after she lost her baby nephew to the condition.
Mandy Burley, from Weymouth, is doing a 20-mile sponsored walk after her sister, Susan Reman-Carter, lost her 15-month-old son Ethan six weeks ago to epilepsy.
She said: “We didn’t even think it would be something you die from. We thought the risk was if they injured themselves during a fit, so we really want to raise awareness of conditions that are considered ‘everyday’ like epilepsy and asthma that in reality do take lives.
