Raising awareness for Dravet Syndrome, a rare form of Epilepsy.

Gore, Southland

Dixon suffers from a very rare form of Epilepsy, known as Dravet Syndrome. A genetic form of epilepsy. He asked his mate, Jacob, if they could grow their mullets and cut them off together to raise money for Epilepsy New Zealand.

They plan to cut them off in December (date to be confirmed) and in the meantime, will fundraise for the Cause. Regular updates will be provided by Dixon's mum and myself, Jo, Jacobs mum.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
