"If I could swap places with my daughter so she didn't have to have a seizure, I would. There's nothing you can do except be there."

There is something YOU can do to help parents like Maureen. 

Epilepsy can happen to anyone, at any time, and at any stage of their life.

You can help a person living with epilepsy. You can give them access to the best support, information and tools they need to manage their condition well.

Imagine seeing someone you love rushed to hospital, not knowing what’s going on with them.

You’re then told they not only have a life-changing condition – they have a condition that will be with them for life.

Who do you turn to? Who can help?

The Epilepsy Foundation is here, providing people like Sam, and carers like Maureen, with the support, information and tools they need.

Donate now and help us to:

• Provide crucial support from our Epilepsy Support team so people like Sam feel fully supported at school, in the workplace, in a hospital, at home;
• Educate children and teachers in schools, people in workplaces, healthcare facilities and aged care centres;
• Develop programs to eradicate stigma and discrimination that stops people, like Sam, from being able to talk openly about their condition.

Your donation makes a life-changing difference. Show your support today. Please donate.

If someone in your family was diagnosed with epilepsy, there is someone that can help, someone you can contact.

That’s the Epilepsy Foundation, who are here to give you the support you need.

Without YOUR support this service may not be here for Sam, our family and every person living with this unpredictable condition. Please donate.” Maureen, mum to Sam
