Nix and Nellie the Cheeky Neurons are teaming up with award-winning guest speaker and epilepsy-awareness superstar, Torie Robinson in her only public appearances in the ACT. Don't miss this opportunity to attend our upcoming intimate Make Your Own Cheeky Neuron workshops.

Torie Robinson is an international public speaker and educator who is based in the UK. Torie is founder of Epilepsy Sparks - a public awareness organisation with a goal to educate people about the personal and social effects of epilepsy. In addition,Torie has regularly appeared as a advocate for epilepsy awareness on the BBC, in Huffington Post, and on radio programs around the world where she openly discusses her experience of epilepsy. At our workshops, Torie will focus discussion on the experience and effects of epilepsy in family and school environments.

At our Make Your Own Cheeky Neuron workshops, participants create their own Cheeky Neuron characters using easy to follow instructions, while learning about the brain and epilepsy from Nix and Nellie, expert facilitators and guest speakers. All materials are provided.

Families are encouraged to construct neural network displays with their creations to represent the networks of neurons that make up all our brains (cheeky or otherwise). and to encourage open conversations about the brain and epilepsy.
Workshops are 60 minutes long and are suitable for participants aged 5-105.

This year we joined together across Australia in March for Purple Month and we asked you to join us. YOU DID!!

You organised over 140 community events and created over 230 fundraising campaigns. More than 1450 people walked for epilepsy and 60 landmarks were lit up purple across the country.

That is outstanding!

Thank you from all of us... Epilepsy Australia is the united Australian voice, present and active in every state and jurisdiction. We are Epilepsy Queensland Inc.,Epilepsy Foundation of Australia, Epilepsy ACT, Epilepsy Tasmania, The Epilepsy Centre and Epilepsy Association of Western Australia Inc.

With your support we are making a significant difference in the lives of people living with Epilepsy. We promised a national video sharing the highlights of Purple Month with you and here it is.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did! #PurpleDay #PurpleMonth #26Ways #MyWhy ... See MoreSee Less

The first Purple Day was celebrated in 2008, but this year we went big and bold!
We joined hands across the country to launch our first national Purple Month campaign. We were able to raise much-needed funds, awareness and understanding AND challenge the misconceptions towards Epilepsy.
YOU, the community supported us every step of the campaign. YOU joined in the activities, YOU helped to raise funds and YOU shared your stories and photos with us. You helped us to build a stronger community for people living with Epilepsy.
We are putting together a national video of Purple Month. Please share your photos below and they may just make it into our video!
A big THANK YOU from all of us! ... See MoreSee Less
