Racheal Johnson
Racheal's Story Bridge Climb
Story
Hi Everyone
As most people know Isla was diagnosed with Epilepsy in September, and we are still learning about this very common but 'little known about' brain disorder. We consider ourselves very lucky as hers is currently controlled well through medication-but we know that some people's lives are controlled dramatically by this condition . After attending a workshop with Epilepsy QLD and having spoke to them over the phone a number of times I was amazed how knowledgeable and supportive they are and really want to give something back to them. Any money raised helps them to continue giving priceless support to anybody who needs them....
I spent a while thinking how I could raise money-I wanted to do something out of my comfort zone as many times Isla is faced with appointments/examinations/tests that she doesn't want to do! People who know me know that one of my greatest fears is HEIGHTS!!! So, I have decided to conquer my fear and Climb the Story Bridge on Epilepsy Day-Sunday 26th March at twilight, when the bridge will be lit up in purple-Epilepsy's colour!
Please support my efforts by making a secure online donation and posting a message of support.
Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to my charity of choice.
Thanks so much for your support!

Epilepsy Queensland Inc
For more than 50 years, Epilepsy Queensland has been assisting Queensland families touched by epilepsy. Services include education, counselling, information services, children’s and family support programs, specialised training programs, support groups and advocacy. Epilepsy directly affects around 2% (1 in 50) of the population and still remains one of the most misunderstood conditions in today’s society. 28,740 children and adults in Queensland with active epilepsy which is more than muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease, motor neurone disease, and several others combined. Anyone can be diagnosed at any age and Epilepsy Queensland helps to replace the fear and uncertainty with knowledge and empowerment. 60 people per week receive an epilepsy diagnosis. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), it is doubtful there is any other medical condition so universally neglected due to a combination of social stigma, low profile and lack of resources. WHO recognises epilepsy as the world’s most common serious brain disorder. Please help us to be the beacon of hope for people living with, and impacted by epilepsy in Queensland.
