12th Oct Progress Update: 859 miles (1375kms) run to date...

2026! This year I pledged to run 1000 MILES (1610kms) to help raise awareness and funds for Epilepsy; So why am I running....

2 years ago, while in the final stages of completing both her Bachelor Degree & Masters, my daughter had a seizure, the first of many that still continue as it turns out.  Enter the life changing world of Epilepsy. Falling into the medication resistant category, it has been a complicated and challenging journey so far but we are grateful for the support and medical care provided to us. 

Naturally, we have now learned a lot about epilepsy however initially, like most, we knew very little. I am helping to raise awareness & funds for Epilepsy WA because I am inspired by their work as they try to bring "epilepsy out of the shadows", prevent injury and save lives lost to SUDEP. The difference they make is truly amazing especially given they are not government funded and rely on the kindness of donations.

1 in 25 people are diagnosed with epilepsy, maybe it's you or your loved one or a friend that I'm  running for; there are so many people who could benefit of the work Epilepsy WA does. They do not receive regular government funding, like our other states do, and rely on donations to make things happen. Please help me support their vital and important work by donating to my CrowdRaiser. I know they appreciate and value every cent received. Please help me raise awareness by sharing my link with your friends and family. The more people who are aware, and can help, the better! 

Thank you πŸ™πŸ»πŸ’œ
