Register your school to Make March Purple for epilepsy
and fundraise for a chance to WIN your school a PIZZA PARTY!!!*
An estimated 12,000 children in Queensland are currently living with epilepsy. For kids with epilepsy getting through the school day can be challenging. Not only can seizures impact on a child’s education but the side effects of anti-seizure medication can cause fatigue and changes in behaviour. Then add the stigma and bullying among peers which can be detrimental to their self-esteem.
1 in every 200 Australian school children are living with epilepsy – so it is likely you already know a student with the condition.
