MUIR MAXWELL TRUST -Epilepsy Alarms

The decision to distribute epilepsy alarms to families was based on the Maxwell's own experience of the alarm and the quality of life it brought for Muir and the rest of the family. The Trust has never advertised epilepsy alarms but over the years word has spread and today we receive requests for up to 80 epilepsy alarms in any one month.
