“It’s changed my life. Living with this condition is different, every day.” Jackson
Your support is vital for people impacted by epilepsy.
Please donate
Living with epilepsy is challenging.
For the person diagnosed with the condition.
And for their loved ones.
Epilepsy not only impacts a person physically, mentally and emotionally. It disrupts plans and activities. It still carries stigma and discrimination.
And it’s a condition that has an enormous economic burden.
We’re here to ensure no one with epilepsy ever feels alone. To provide every person who contacts us with the support, information, tools and care they need. For free. For people like Jackson.
“Epilepsy has changed my life. It’s getting me to slow down, as I work through the impact and the changes it’s having on me. Every day is different. Your mood, the way you feel, what you’re able to do. What you’re no longer able to do. It’s so important to have an organisation, like the Epilepsy Foundation, for all of us living with epilepsy.”
You can read Jackson’s story in our latest ‘InTouch with Epilepsy’ newsletter along with news and events including getting involved in this year’s Make March Purple! .When a person is diagnosed with epilepsy they need support. And they need compassion.
