I’m taking part in Walk for Epilepsy because...

Hi friends and family!

This October I am taking part in the Walk for Epilepsy and will be walking 100kms to raise money towards Epilepsy research.

In simple terms, epilepsy is a real bitch, and I would love it if there was a cure or some better medications out there for people like me.

Often when people think of epilepsy they think of seizures. But funnily enough, seizures are the easiest part of this condition. The loss of independence, and cognitive problems associated with epilepsy have the ability to wreak havoc on my life, causing immense stress, pressure and difficulty. I really hope for a future in which epilepsy and neurological disorders are recognised under NDIS because I'm sure sick of getting public transport.

So, support me, support people like me, and help advocate for a better future for people with epilepsy.  Thank you so much x
