Get Active for Epilepsy
As the days grow longer and the warmth of spring fills the air, Epilepsy Action Australia invites you to embrace the season by getting active for a cause that touches the lives of over 250,000 Australians. From August through December, we’re launching our “Get Active for Epilepsy” initiative, a movement designed to inspire and empower you to make a real impact in the lives of those living with epilepsy.
This initiative is about more than just physical activity; it’s about taking action in a way that’s personal and meaningful to you. We’re offering two exciting ways to get involved. You can either participate in one of our multi-charity events, like marathons or other third party organised challenges, by selecting an event through Grassrootz to represent Epilepsy Action Australia. Or, if you prefer to blaze your own trail, you can create your own unique active fundraising event or initiative—whether it’s a sit-up, burpee, or skipping challenge, a personal marathon, or something entirely new, the choice is yours!
Why your involvement & support is vital
By participating in “Get Active for Epilepsy,” you’re not just getting fit; you’re raising crucial funds and awareness for Epilepsy Action Australia, the leading and oldest provider of epilepsy services nationwide. Your support will help us provide life-saving clinical services, educational resources, and emotional support to individuals and families affected by epilepsy. Every step you take contributes to expanding our network of Epilepsy Nurse Educators, delivering essential resources, supporting research, and advocating for greater public understanding, ensuring those with epilepsy can lead meaningful, independent lives free from stigma and discrimination.
