'I was pretty scared': Wally Lewis opens up about battle with epilepsy

4BC Drive with Gary Hardgrave

Today is Purple Day, which raises awareness for epilepsy. 

King Wally Lewis has had his own experience with epilepsy. 

Mr Lewis, told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "It wasn't something that I felt proud of, but it was something that I was pretty scared that I was unable to keep control in the way that that it had been going."

"I'd had it for quite some time, but there was the denial there rather than just owning up," Mr Lewis continued.
