THE mother of a 21-year-old who died suddenly due to epilepsy has paid tribute to her “best friend”.
Barbara Hepworth’s daughter Amy Marsden died in April after having a seizure.
And yesterday , the 52-year-old organised a festive 5km fun run at Markeaton Park to help raise funds for the Amy Marsden Memorial Fund – founded to raise money and public awareness for the Epilepsy Society and other epilepsy charities.
Barbara, of Castle Donington, said: “We were competing against a well-established Santa fun run in Derby but it was fun.”
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!
