Meet our 2025 CarFest Ambassador

Carfest 2025 ambassador for Young Epilepsy

Charlie. 13 was proud to represent Young Epilepsy at CarFest 2025

Taking the baton from Cash and Darla, our star ambassadors in 2024, Charlie was proud to be an ambassador for Carfest and hoped to encourage others to join for support and friendship. 

Charlie is a happy and positive young boy who loves family time, snooker, and being a Police cadet. Despite having drug-resistant epilepsy linked to a genetic condition, Charlie stays upbeat and enjoys life. His seizures mostly happen at night, so he uses a special watch and camera for safety. Young Epilepsy has been helping him meet other kids with epilepsy and have fun at youth clubs.

We would like to thank Chris Evans and the CarFest team, Clare and Jody Scheckter, and all at Laverstoke Farm for inviting us to once again be a part of the CarFest family! 

Bring on 2026!
