Pippa Meadowcroft is 17 years old and loves to do Cheerleading and Drama.
Her first seizure was at age 12 and just a week before her 13th birthday and was diagnosed at age 14.
Pippa describes her worst seizure as "Absolutely terrifying! I was sat watching TV with my mum and then I couldn't breathe"
Pippa has also faced other challenges as well as her Epilepsy
"I have had nasty comments about my seizures and Epilepsy but the worst one is probably one referring to my seizures, someone called me a break dancing b1tch which really hurts"
Pippa wants Epilepsy to be taught in schools and to be on the school curriculum as she has only learnt about it once during a Duke of Edinburgh session in school.
Pippa made a petition on change.org to make schools more aware of Epilepsy and has hit over 2300 signatures and is one of the top petitions relating to the condition.
She also has a blog on Instagram @pippameadowcroft where you can follow her journey and has over 2000 followers!
If Pippa wasn't busy enough she is currently doing so much fundraising for her hospital and for Epilepsy charities.
Pippa has had letters from her local MP and former Prime Minister Rishi Sunack and has appeared on BBC Radio 5 Live with Tony Livesy and on The FYI Weekly News Show on Sky News with Sky Kids!
Well done Pippa!
