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

I want to raise money and make a difference for people living with epilepsy. Please help me by giving whatever you can using the 'Donate' button. The more people that know about the walk, the greater the impact, so please also spread the word by sharing our page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!

My WHY

Wednesday 13th Sep
I’ll never be the best dad!! But I’m always going to try my best to be a good role model for my girls and my family! 

Being a parent is hard in general, we all know that. We have our doubts if we are doing a good job or not. Let me tell you you are doing an amazing job. There isn’t a book of what is right or wrong. We do what we think will be the best for them in each situation. 

For me, I think that creating awareness and funding for EPILEPSY will be the way to ensure she has better future. I hope that more people understand that epilepsy isn’t just a seizure and that it doesn’t affect only the person who has epilepsy, that it affects all the people around the warrior. It is tiredness, sleep deprivation, mental health issues, putting your dreams, career, friends, family aside, it’s being scared to leave your child with somebody else, being scared to travel too far from the hospital, being scared to sleep too deeply in case you aren’t able to hear if they have a seizure, being so anxious when your partner or daycare calls you, or you hear an ambulance siren. 

For that reason, on Saturday, 30th of September from 8am, I will run laps of Miami’s Marine Pde (starting from the Nobby end) for 25hr straight. It’s about a 2km loop. Come along for 2km or 25hrs whatever suits you.

If you have any spare $ you can donate to this link (every dollar is going to @epilepsyqld who are doing an amazing job creating awareness and supporting the community).

Thank you to my Sponsors
