Story

Hi everyone :) 

This year I am making a difference by participating in Bridge to Brisbane and running for a cause that is close to my heart and who are doing some amazing work - Epilepsy Queensland. 

Every 33 minutes a life is turned upside down by an epilepsy diagnosis.

Epilepsy can happen to anyone at any stage of life, without warning. Affecting a person’s confidence, independence and their overall well-being, epilepsy literally turns a person’s life upside down. 

 Your support fundraising through Bridge to Brisbane will help turn things around with

- new diagnosis welcome and information packs

- information and guidance, via our epilepsy helpline

- reassurance and understanding for a newly diagnosed person from our epilepsy educators

- confidence, with FREE access to the Understanding epilepsy workshop for families of a person with epilepsy.

- individual epilepsy management plan that will help turn a person’s life around

Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to my charity of choice.

Thank you so much for your support!

Epilepsy Queensland Inc

For more than 50 years, Epilepsy Queensland has been assisting Queensland families touched by epilepsy. Services include education, counselling, information services, children’s and family support programs, specialised training programs, support groups and advocacy. Epilepsy directly affects around 2% (1 in 50) of the population and still remains one of the most misunderstood conditions in today’s society. 28,740 children and adults in Queensland with active epilepsy which is more than muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease, motor neurone disease, and several others combined. Anyone can be diagnosed at any age and Epilepsy Queensland helps to replace the fear and uncertainty with knowledge and empowerment. 60 people per week receive an epilepsy diagnosis. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), it is doubtful there is any other medical condition so universally neglected due to a combination of social stigma, low profile and lack of resources. WHO recognises epilepsy as the world’s most common serious brain disorder. Please help us to be the beacon of hope for people living with, and impacted by epilepsy in Queensland.
