First stop … Universal Studios Osaka!!
Do it for Dylan!
We’re walking for our son Dylan, who lives with Doose Syndrome — a rare and drug-resistant epilepsy. Every day, Dylan faces over 150 seizures, despite years of trying multiple treatments, special diets, and even a Vagal Nerve Stimulator implant. There’s no known cause, no cure, and no break. Epilepsy is relentless, exhausting, and life-altering.
This cruel condition affects Dylan’s memory, learning, and daily life — and recently, it almost took his breath away during a severe seizure. That’s our reality. That’s why we’re walking.
So far, our amazing team has already raised $4,637 of our original $5,000 goal. But we don’t want to stop there — with your help, we’re aiming for $10,000 by October 25 to fund vital research, treatment, and support services for rare epilepsies like Dylan’s.
We’ll be walking in Japan — and wherever you are in the world, we’d love you to walk with us. Together, every step brings us closer to change.
👉 Donate if you can
👉 Join our team and set your own walking challenge
👉 Share our page and help spread Dylan’s story far and wide
Let’s show Dylan — and every family living with epilepsy — that they are not alone. 💜
Thank you for walking with us,
Dylan, Saskia, Nick & Ollie x
💜 Together We’ve Raised $3,337 (and counting!) 💜
WOW — we are absolutely blown away! Thanks to your incredible generosity, we’ve now raised a whopping $3,337 to support life-changing epilepsy research and vital services for families like ours.
This achievement means the world to us. Every donation, every share, and every person who’s joined our walking team (even from afar!) has helped push us closer to real change. From the bottom of our hearts — thank you. 🥹💜
But we’re not stopping here. Every step we walk in October is for Dylan and the 250,000 Australians living with epilepsy — and we’d love you to keep walking alongside us.
Here’s how you can continue to make a difference:
👉 Sponsor our team with a donation — every dollar counts!
👉 Share our fundraising link with friends, family, or your workplace.
👉 Join our team and walk your own way toward our collective goal. 🦶
Let’s keep the momentum going — together we can create hope, drive research, and make life brighter for those living with epilepsy. 💪💜
