In studio this morning talking with the very lovely Philip Martin Brown who play Grantly Budgen in the BBC series Waterloo Road - who also lives with epilepsy.

Philip was diagnosed with epilepsy at 19 and there are approximately 112,000 young people who live with the condition in the UK.

Monday marks International Purple Day as purple is the colour used to raise awareness of what is the most common neurological childhood condition in the UK. National charity Young Epilepsy are encouraging everyone to get involved in raising fund for this worthy cause by making their very own Purple Pledge and turn pledges into pounds.
