Epilepsy can happen to anyone at any time. For Jenni, epilepsy happened to her and to her two boys. It’s not only affected them. It has impacted her partner, Adam, their extended family, friends and colleagues. And it’s impacted her sons’ schooling, activities, time at home, holidays. Three people with the condition. Hundreds impacted by epilepsy.

Your support is crucial to helping people manage and live well with epilepsy. Please show your support for them.

Give of mind for those impacted by epilepsy

When a person is told they, or someone they love, has epilepsy, they experience fear, anxiety and worry as to what this diagnosis actually means.

With your help, we can provide them with the support, information and tools they need to better understand their epilepsy and know what to do when a seizure occurs.

Giveto learn about epilepsy

When a person has a seizure, time is of the essence, to get them the help they need. But it also takes time to learn how to identify symptoms and signs, what to do when a seizure occurs, the administration of medications such as midazolam.

You can help us provide more training and education to families, schools, workplaces and community groups, so that we are truly creating an epilepsy-aware community.

Give that one day there will be a cure

Every person living with epilepsy is hopeful that a cure will be found. And at the very least, research can create further advances in better treatments, medications, support practices and more.

You will help us continue to fund ground-breaking research that can potentially lead to a cure for epilepsy.

Today, please help give a family peace of mind from the stress and anxiety of living with epilepsy. Time to learn what to do when a seizure occurs. And hope that one day we’ll find a cure for epilepsy.

Please don’t hesitate. Your support is their difference.

When Jenni was just a young girl, her parents noticed their daughter would ‘space out’. Her Grade 2 teacher called it ‘daydreaming’, but her Grade 3 teacher recognised the signs. Jenni was experiencing absence seizures. Years later, both of her sons would be diagnosed with epilepsy. Their lives changed forever by a diagnosis.
