'This time last year Konni was having between 30 and 40 seizures a day'

Jo Bostock

Available for over a year

A young girl from Leicestershire is marking 6 months living without seizures. This time last year Konni from Quorn was having up to 40 seizures a day from epilepsy. Before she had her operation she decided to shave off her hair and donate it to the 'Little Princess Trust' – doing that raised thousands of pounds for charity. But the fundraising didn’t stop there and now Konni's Dad Joseph, along with a group of local dads calling themselves 'The Peaky Climbers’. are now preparing to take on the 'Three Peaks Challenge'. Jo Bostock has been speaking to Konni, her Dad Joseph and Mum Linda.
