My name is Lorelie, I am 13 years old. I was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 10. I feel like epilepsy in children is not talked about enough. This is why I have decided to raise money for Epilepsy WA, in March as it is epilepsy month.

In Australia 1 in 200 children live with epilepsy.

I would like to help kids with epilepsy and show them that you can challenge yourself even if you have this condition. I have decided to ride my bike from North ampton to Geraldton, a total of 70kms. I feel confident I can ride 40kms but the additional 30kms is going to be a challenge for me.

I will be riding on Sunday 27th March 2022 and will finish my ride in town. You are welcome to ride part of it or all it with me. I would love some company especially towards the end, when I will need even more of your support and encouragement. I am aiming to finish on the foreshore around 1pm. We will have a stall there, to give information and raise awareness on epilepsy.

I would love if you could encourage me and cheer me on by donating to this great association who is providing support, information and training for people living with epilepsy and experiencing seizures. I am aiming to fundraise 100$/km, so a total of 7000$. Any donation is greatly appreciated, every dollar counts! Learning about epilepsy is also a great way to support my journey.

More information on epilepsy association WA can be found on their website. Epilepsy WA are committed to providing support to improve the quality of life of people with epilepsy and increase community awareness of the condition.
