Support Epilepsy Awareness & Inclusive Fitness in New Zealand!

$645 of $10,000 goal
Given by 14 generous donors in around 5 months

Raising funds for Epilepsy NZ & cutting my hair on Epilepsy day (26th March) to raise awareness and stand in solidarity with those affected!

Wellington

Over 48,000 Kiwis live with epilepsy, facing daily challenges that many don’t see. I’ve had epilepsy for 25 years, so this cause is deeply personal to me. As a personal trainer, I’m raising funds to support Epilepsy New Zealand, which provides vital education, support, and advocacy. But I also want to take it a step further—by offering specialized personal training for individuals with epilepsy, helping them build confidence, strength, and a healthier lifestyle.

💜 Where Your Donation Goes:

🔹 50% to Epilepsy New Zealand for education, support, and advocacy

🔹 50% to fund affordable personal training for people with epilepsy, helping them stay active safely

Funds will be used primarily for Facebook ads as well as other things such as app usage for online clients and equipment for in person clients.

To show my commitment to this cause, I'll be cutting my hair on Epilepsy Day (March 26th)! This is my way of standing in solidarity with those affected and raising awareness for this important cause.

Every dollar makes an impact. Whether it’s supporting essential services or providing tailored fitness programs, your contribution helps create a healthier, more inclusive community.

📢 Help spread the word! Share this fundraiser to raise awareness.

Together, we can empower those living with epilepsy to thrive. Thank you for your support!
