When Trudy Kerr was first diagnosed with epilepsy following a horse riding accident four years ago, she refused to tell anyone, daunted by the stigma attached to the word.
The 40-year-old has now gone public about her condition for the first time. She will be running the London Marathon next month to raise awareness about the condition as well as to demonstrate that sufferers can live normal lives and that epilepsy is not a “dirty word”.
