"Because the loss of Jade was so sudden
and unexpected the memorial fund in her name
has helped us keep her fresh in our memory
and also focused on raising awareness in our
community of epilepsy.
I feel as proud of her now as I did when
she was alive because people genuinely want
to raise funds in her name and I can't think
of anyone better than Epilepsy Research UK because more research into epilepsy
can only be a good thing especially if it
can help prevent the loss of a loved one.
I have been approached by lots of people
from our area who suffer or know some one
who has epilepsy. By highlighting Jade's
memorial fund I believe people are not afraid
to speak about epilepsy anymore.
We feel we are doing good by having the
fund- it will never bring Jade back but
at least we can feel satisfaction that we
are helping others. In some ways I feel
Jade is a kind of figurehead for epilepsy
research."

Donate to the
Jade Cronshaw memorial fund
Epilepsy Research UK would like to thank
the Cronshaws for their involvement with
us. Our Memorial Funds play an essential
part in funding the charity's's research.
This year, they are supporting Professor
Matthew
Walker's project looking at Potassium
Channels in Epilepsy, which will increase
our understanding of the effect of epilepsy
on the brain, and may potentially open up
an exciting new avenue for epilepsy treatment.
