Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

This March, I'm walking and raising funds to support people living with epilepsy, and their families.

Epilepsy is characterised by a discharge of electrical energy in the brain, but the way this affects each person is unique. With your help, Epilepsy Ireland can provide support tailored to the needs of each person and family living with epilepsy.

Your support will ensure that people with epilepsy and their families receive the information, advice, and support they need through a network of 11 Community Resource Officers. You will ensure public awareness of epilepsy is improved and stigma and misunderstanding is alleviated. You will help fund vital research projects to find new ways to manage and treat epilepsy and reduce its impact on people’s lives.

I hope you can help me by making a donation. Simply click the Donate button. All donations are processed securely and are received directly by Epilepsy Ireland.

Epilepsy since childhood

Monday 2nd Mar
My name is Niamh White and I have Epilepsy since childhood. I am profoundly deaf since a toddler. Epilepsy Ireland is amazing charity and have been supportive since I joined in as a member in 2016 in Cork based Epilepsy Ireland branch. I would be lost without Epilepsy Ireland Cork based Community Resource officers as they organised 2 x ISL interpreters for workshops which I have attended since I joined in 2016 and organised 2 x Interpreters for the national conference in Cork one times. Also Epilepsy Ireland head office organised Interpreters for National Conference in Dublin, a few times and International Congress in Dublin one evening a few years ago.

I would like to give back any amount of money that I am doing to fundraising for Epilepsy Ireland as a thank you for what they are doing with allowing me to have access to the conference and get supports from the organisation too. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
