1 Million Steps for Poppy
1 Million Steps for Poppy
Story
Hi there!
We are taking part in Step 4 Epilepsy WA to raise funds for a cause close to our hearts.
Our daughter Poppy turned our lives into chaos the day she turned 5 months old and had her first terrifying seizure. As first time parents this was the scariest times of our lives. Poppy continued to have seizures and was a shell of herself for 3 months with multiple ambulance and hospital trips. With clear results for MRI,EEG,Bloods and Lumbar Puncture we just had to keep increasing her medications and introducing new ones to try and stop the seizures which just kept happening, and even after 50 seizures they are still terrifying. Poor Poppy was on so many meds she was sedated for a big majority of her days. Finally the genetic panel Blood results come back from Finland and showed Poppy had a gene mutation which causes epilepsy. Fortunately we are one of the very lucky ones where Poppy will grow out of it and now has only one medication that gives her full seizure control - but many parents and kids are not this lucky and are in the scary times for years and years.
By supporting me, you're helping to bring epilepsy out of the shadows and you are also supporting your local epilepsy association, which has been providing vital services and raising awareness in WA for over 60 years.
Please support my efforts by making an online tax-deductible donation and by posting a message of support. Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly to my charity of choice.
Thanks so much for your support!
