Just over two years ago I was out for dinner with my son Roarke and daughter Lila, when Lila collapsed to the floor and had a series of massive seizures. It was the worst meal of my life.
It’s completely changed our family’s life, as we grapple with what her life-changing diagnosis means.
So, I’ve recently finished a TEDe Talk that Lila, Roarke, Sheridan, and I hope will raise awareness of how common epilepsy is, and raise much-needed funds for the amazing people at Epilepsy Action Australia.
Lila is one of 250,000 Australians with epilepsy.
That means 1% of our country has this disorder.
1 in 10 Aussies will have a seizure in their life.
And 300 people a year die from their epilepsy.
Epilepsy Action Australia has provided us with so much support, but last year their annual fundraiser Purple Day was cancelled by COVID.
So, I want the country to open their hearts and make a tax-deductible donation and SHARE IN THE BEAR.
Epilepsy is a seizure disorder that can affect anyone at any time. It is estimated that over 800,000 Australian’s will be diagnosed at some stage in life. Epilepsy Action delivers innovative services that increase awareness, understanding, knowledge and skills to assist people with epilepsy.
