Elly Wallace

Focus, Strength and Persistence in the face of Epilepsy

From a very young age, Elly fell in love with ballet. Spending long hours learning the craft, at age 18 she left Australia, to join various ballet groups in Europe. Just as she was realising her dreams of being a professional dancer, she caught what she thought was the flu. After being bed-ridden for two weeks, Elly began to feel better and naturally resumed her ballet training. Then she fainted.
