Join me to help raise money for Epilepsy WA!

Hi Everyone,

For my birthday this year, I am fundraising for Epilepsy WA. I was diagnosed at 17, a terrifying time for my family and me. It took me many years to understand what was happening and adjust to the medication, but most of all be brave and accept my diagnosis. Many years on, I am proud to say I live a beautiful seizure-free life, controlled on medication as I've learnt to manage the challenges of this disorder. I want to help raise awareness, reduce stigma and start more open conversations around something that is very much in the shadows.

It breaks my heart that Epilepsy WA does not receive any state government funding and relies heavily on public donations to provide essential epilepsy support services to the 27,000 West Australians currently living with epilepsy, their loved ones and the 1,500 new cases diagnosed each year.

I’ve discovered with my career and life experiences that Epilepsy is not talked about enough, and I want to help change that. Join me in making a difference! I'm raising money in aid of EPILEPSY ASSOCIATION OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA (INC) and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

Big love, Katherine xxx
