I've chosen to design a logo for The Daisy Garland charity for our new brief. The charity was set up by the parents of Daisy Garland who at just five and a half months old was diagnosed with a rare and complex form of epilepsy. Tragically Daisy died at the age of 6 as a result of SUDEP- sudden and unexpected death in epilepsy patients. Her parents set up the charity as they felt they had no other option "but to turn such a hugely devastating tragedy into something positive to help other children like Daisy."
Epilepsy affects 300,000 people in the UK. At the moment there is no cure, although around 70% of people with epilepsy have medication to completely control their seizures.
I chose this charity as i found it completely heartbreaking, and aswell i know someone who was affected by epilepsy and tragically she also died just a month before her 16th birthday.
I think its amazing the strength of Daisy's parents to want to help other children who suffer from epilepsy, i also find their website very helpful on learning more about the condition.
