Semi-Final Film Overview
Kay Underwood has cataplexy, a rare neurological condition. If the sufferer grows too excited or emotional, and especially if they laugh, their muscular system is prone to shut down completely. Cataplexy itself is a form of narcolepsy, the sleep disorder, which affects one in every 3,000 Britons. In this film we will learn more about Kay, and meet Bill Harris, himself afflicted with narcolepsy and the Chairman of UKAN (Narcolepsy Association UK). Despite having the condition, Bill still leads a full life, working full time, being a Dad to two busy children, and captaining his local rugby team.
