Aid Our Family’s Epilepsy Challenge

Our Son’s Journey with Epilepsy

A Story of Hope, Strength, and the Power of Community

Our Story

As a father, I never imagined I would be writing these words. Our journey with epilepsy began the day we noticed something wasn’t quite right with our son. What followed was a whirlwind of confusion, medical visits, and eventually, a life-changing diagnosis.

Since then, our lives have revolved around managing epilepsy—a condition that affects our son’s daily life in ways many can’t imagine. From strict medication routines to constant vigilance, every day is shaped by the possibility of a seizure. The emotional toll is heavy, but so is the financial one—ongoing specialist care, medications, and emergency treatments have created a burden we can no longer carry alone.

And yet, through it all, our son remains our greatest source of strength. His courage, his smile, and his spirit remind us daily that hope is stronger than fear.

Tranding Fundraisers

I’ve created this fundraiser on behalf of my dear friends, Sarah and James, who are enduring every parent’s worst nightmare — the loss of their beloved son, Leo.

We’re heartbroken to share that our dear friend Alex passed away far too soon. His light, his laughter, his incredible spirit — they touched so many, and his absence is deeply felt.

Hi everyone — Angela here, writing on behalf of Matthew (for now). On December 6th, completely out of the blue, Matthew suffered a severe stroke.
