Neil Balme's Epilepsy Story
AFL cult hero Neil Balme has gone public with his secret battle following a recent epilepsy diagnosis.
The 71-year-old was only diagnosed with epilepsy in 2020 after suffering his first seizure which came from out of the blue when he had been in bed with his wife.
Balme, one of the key figures in Richmond’s recent premiership dynasty as the club’s head of football, said he has no memory of the seizure and has since had further episodes.
Watch Neils story here and why he's Walking for Epilepsy this October.
