These will be awesome!! I encourage you all to go along - you are sure to learn something. Great for people with epilepsy, and all those caring, working or in contact in any way, with someone who has epilepsy.
It will not be ‘heavy’ it will be fun and interesting. Bettcha’.
One down three to go. We had a great start with 7 people this morning from all walks of life with a common interest in epilepsy. Come to one of the others!

Minnie’s presentation on Be Accessibe was truly inspiring. disappointing to see those most in need of ‘enlightenment’ were absent….a great build up for the RWC and way beyond so up to those who did attend to be vocal! and spread the Be word!
