Tanya Spensley was diagnosed with both epilepsy and eye cancer (retinoblastoma) at age one and has gone through childhood and adulthood with epilepsy and one artificial eye. There were a lot of struggles for Tanya in education and employment due to a lack of understanding by teachers and employers of epilepsy. This lead to Tanya joining her local Epilepsy Action and Epilepsy Society branches in 1983 and raising awareness. Having tried all medications Tanya underwent brain surgery at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in 1996 to control her seizures. After sixteen years of helping others with epilepsy at a local level Tanya decided to branch out to other parts of the UK and began visiting international congresses in 1999. This has lead to further interest in learning about the treatment gaps between developed and developing countries and building up worldwide contacts. Through her training as an Accredited Volunteer for Epilepsy Action and an Epilepsy Information Network volunteer for the Epilepsy Society, Tanya began giving presentations in 2000 to many businesses like the Communication Workers Union and the Royal Society for Medicine and has spoken face to face with newly diagnosed patients at the Paediatric Departments of Barnet General and Barnet Chase Farm Hospitals. In the United Kingdom Tanya was elected onto the Board of Governors at Epilepsy Society (2006-2012) and was invited to Number 10 Downing Street, met Princess Anne and was a winner of two BT Chairman's awards with regards to this work. In 2006 Tanya became a Patron of the Gambia Epilepsy Association after providing information and education to an epilepsy clinic over there in 2003. This resulted in the formation of the Gambia Epilepsy Association and their membership of the International Bureau for Epilepsy. She has visited The Gambia every year since 2003 and spoken to Health Ministers, World Health Organisation, media, doctors, nurses, schools & radio shows in the country. This has lead to further presentations at international congresses and speaking at African Epilepsy meetings on behalf of the work in The Gambia. Epilepsy Footprint was also founded by Tanya as a non-profit organisation in order to raise more awareness about the treatment gaps in developing countries. Tanya has now spent 35 years since 1983 campaigning and educating about epilepsy.
