'She was never cowed by her epilepsy'

ѿý Radio 5 Live presenter Steve Crossman has described how his sister Jill lived life to the full whilst living with epilepsy.

She died from Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy three weeks ago.

“She genuinely was a force of nature and she was never cowed by her epilepsy which is amazing,” he said.

Steve, who suffers from epilepsy himself, told Nicky Campbell on 5 Live Breakfast what living with the condition is like.

“I remember telling people I had epilepsy and there were some people sceptical about it, which is quite a painful thing to happen,” he said.

Steve wants to raise awareness of the condition and the issues it can cause for someone living with epilepsy.
