Toni Scanlon, 17, tragically died in December 2008 after suffering an epileptic fit.

The popular teenager had always dreamed of a career working with children. In September 2008, Toni enrolled at City College Coventry on their CACHE (ACD) Level 2 Childcare course.

From the start of her studies Toni was loved by students and staff alike and as a tribute to the fond memories they have of Toni, they decided to raise money for Epilepsy Research UK.

Epilepsy Research UK is the only national charity dedicated to raising funds for the research into the causes, treatment and prevention of this debilitating condition.

The students have raised a staggering £388 by organising raffles, Name the Teddy Bear and Guess the Amount of Lolly-pops in the Jar competitions.

Sharon Broer, Course Team Leader said, "We all miss Toni and the way she was always game for a laugh. We all decided to remember her in a way that best suited her personality."

Sharon added, "We got some t-shirts produced and then went around the College asking for 'volunteers' to part with their money. It was a great success and a great way to remember a wonderful person."
