Stunning teenager overcame epilepsy to become catwalk model
A STUNNING teenager who had 30 epileptic fits a day has become a model - and a charity ambassador.
Rosie Gilmour feared she would never achieve her dream of becoming a model after facing a daily battle with epilepsy since she was nine.
But the 16-year-old, who was hospitalised by severe attacks, has been signed up by modelling agency Colours.
And today she is celebrating after being named as an ambassador of charity Epilepsy Scotland, who help raise awareness of the condition.
Rosie said she was determined not to let epilepsy take over her life.
She added: "To be asked to be an ambassador for the organisation is just fantastic.
"By sharing my experiences and listening to others, I hope I can help people all over Scotland.
"Everyone needs to open up and I hope by being an ambassador, people will open up to me."
