Walking for Epilepsy – Why I’m Taking Part

This year, I’m taking part in the Walk for Epilepsy to raise funds for the Epilepsy Foundation. This is a cause close to my heart. Epilepsy affects over 250,000 Australians, and every one of those people has a story – often with challenges that go unseen.

The Epilepsy Foundation is there to provide support, education, and research to improve the lives of those living with epilepsy and their families. Their work helps ensure that people aren’t left to navigate this condition alone.

Why I’m Walking

For many people with epilepsy, life can be unpredictable. It’s not just about seizures – it’s the constant balancing act of managing health, work, and family while dealing with the uncertainty the condition brings. The more we can raise awareness and provide resources, the better the chances of helping people live the life they want.

By joining this walk, I want to help fund more services, more education, and more research so that fewer families have to struggle through this without the right support.

How You Can Help

I’m aiming to raise as much as I can for the Epilepsy Foundation. Your donation will go directly towards helping people living with epilepsy – from providing emergency support, to training teachers and workplaces, to funding research that could lead to better treatments.

Every contribution makes a difference. Whether it’s $5 or $500, your support will help create a bigger impact.

If you can, please donate using the button below. And if you’re not in a position to donate right now, you can still make a difference by sharing this page with your friends, family, or colleagues. The more people who hear about this, the more help we can give.

Thank you in advance for your generosity. It truly means a lot, not just to me and my family, but to the many people whose lives will be touched by your support.
