Children with Intractable Epilepsy - charity walk

Murray Gray, age 10, and Ben Griffiths age 13 are walking down Morecambe Bay in October to raise funds for Intractable Epilepsy Charity. Intractable charity Trustees will join them.

Murray and Ben have seen life-transforming results since being privately prescribed medicinal cannabis by a doctor on the UK specialist register to treat their intractable epilepsy. They want to help the Intractable Epilepsy Charity by raising funds to make a difference for families struggling to fund monthly prescription costs. You can make a difference, too, by donating today.

INTRACTABLE CHARITY - Giving Children Their Lives Back

Intractable is the first UK charity foundered by families who have loved ones with intractable epilepsy who are prescribed medicinal cannabis. Our loved ones had exhausted all NHS treatments, and we all ended up being thrown together after finding cannabinoid treatments. It helped our loved ones so much that we wanted to be able to provide some financial help to other families who were in the same position.

​

Many of these children suffer hundreds of devastating seizures every day. Nearly all have exhausted the traditional pharmaceutical anti-epileptic drugs. Medicinal cannabis is the only medicine that helps. Medicinal cannabis has been legal in the UK since 2018, but access on the NHS remains blocked. So the families have to cope with the immense strain of fundraising up to £2,000 a month to access it privately and deal with the daily care of their sick children. Imagine if this was your child. Please help us to help them. Your donations will support the families to continue getting the medicine they so desperately need.
