Story
Hey guys,
Some of you may or may not know that my biggest baby, Shazzi, was diagnosed with a form of epilepsy in February this year.
To say it's been a rough road doesn't even begin to describe it.. there's been a lot of adjusting as well as big ups and downs, but thankfully, Shazzi is an absolute warrior and takes it like a champ.
As a parent, it's crushing... to see your baby hurting or mid seizure, and there's absolutely nothing you can do to stop it except put her in recovery position, keep her head safe, pray that the seizure won't last longer than 5 mins all while keeping 000 on standby...
The reason for this long spiel is that this year, Will & decided to sign up for Bridge to Brisbane and raise funds for @epilepsyqld. Organisations like this, help people like us to gain the knowledge we need to get through day by day.
Please give what you can and if you can't (totally understand because inflation😵), please share the link.
Thanks for reading my novel 🤣
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.
