Offaly man Gordon Cummins (41) had always lived a life of independence. He worked in the fire service for 17 years before building a career in technology, and he’d regularly devote his time to various horticultural interests.
However, his life took a complete turn two years ago, when he experienced his first seizure. Within a year, he was diagnosed with epilepsy – a neurological condition which affects almost one in every 100 people in Ireland, according to Epilepsy Ireland.
