Laura is 10 years old and has Dravet syndrome. This is a rare neurological condition caused by a genetic mutation on the SCN1A gene. This has resulted in complex epilepsy, autism, ADHD, ataxia and severe learning difficulties. Laura is non verbal and walks unsteadily but is a very happy and mischievous girl who loves everybody and enjoys life.

Exciting news!
I got an email from Charlotte (Dravet) today. She invited me to attend a Dravet conference in Italy in October. Wow I am so thrilled and proud to be invited. It's all expenses paid too!
