Two young children from Market Drayton are embarking on a challenge to walk 100 miles in 100 days to raise money for the Epilepsy Society in honour of their mother.

The endeavour is all in honour of their mother, Sally McLean-Butler, who was diagnosed with epilepsy when she was 10 weeks pregnant.

While the 40-year-old is on an NHS surgical waiting list, the pandemic exacerbated the backlog and Sally does not know when she will be able to have the surgery. David and Sophia have learned how to call 999 and their mum's emergency contacts in case of a serious incident. They have already helped Sally on one occasion by running for their neighbour, who is a paramedic, when Sally was having an epileptic fit and broke her ankle while falling.
