Our son Loukas was diagnosed with Epilepsy in 2019 at age 7. Driving home one afternoon, he started having a seizure out of no where, which followed by another once the ambulance arrived. 

At the time I knew nothing about Epilepsy, he was given a diagnosis and in hospital for 12 days. The hospital told us about Epilepsy Action Australia. who provided us with so much information. I would sit up for hours at night reading every fact sheet they had.

Two and a half years later, after many tests, medication changes, doctors visits and continued breakthrough seizures, as a family we decided Loukas would undergoing surgery to remove the lesion on his brain. 

He is booked for Tuesday June 22nd 2021.

While I feel helpless at times, I needed to do something.

We are running for epilepsy to break the stigma, and raise money to Epilepsy Action Australia so they can support other families living with Epilepsy. Many people go undiagnosed and live without answers. 

We will be Running (or walking) 3 or 9 kilometres in Centennial Parklands on Sunday, July 18th!

Everyone is welcome and we encourage those who can not; join us for a virtual run. If you don't wish to participate on the day, you can contribute through raising awareness or donating to our cause.
