Thank you sincerely to Charmaine Bowden and to the 2026 Dun & Dusted Pastoral Clare Ute Muster for raising $625 for The Epilepsy Centre in "loving memory of Ellie Fielding (nee Long)", who sadly passed away 25 January 2026 due to status epilepticus.

We also want to acknowledge your love also for Jacob Olson who also passed away earlier this year after his battle with Brain Cancer.

In Charmaine's words:
"It has been an honour supporting and raising funds for such an amazing Charity. We look forward to continue to support you however we can.

I have been heavily involved in Ute Musters for almost 10 years now. I have been running The Clare Ute Muster for 5 successful years now. As I am independent to the Clare Show, I heavily rely on business to sponsor my muster to be able to donate these much needed funds to chosen charities and in honour of of beautiful friends we have unfortunately lost.

This year we raised money in honour of our two friends lost earlier this year. Ellie Fielding (Long) - who tragically lost her battle with Epilepsy this year and Jacob Olson who also lost his battle with Brain Cancer earlier this year.

This year, The Clare Ute Muster managed to raise over $5000 in honour of our two friends which has been donated to our chosen charities.

Anyone can attend these Ute musters at your local country shows. Come along and help build lifelong friendships while supporting charities and local communities!"

Thank you to everyone for your support.

TODAY, 21ST OCTOBER IS SUDEP ACTION DAY!

SUDEP ACTION DAY is focused on raising global awareness of epilepsy deaths, sparking open conversations around seizure safety.

Sadly, many people diagnosed with epilepsy and their families are not aware that SUDEP exists until it is too late.

SUDEP is a difficult conversation to have or to hear about but every person has the right to know and knowledge is power.

What is SUDEP? SUDEP stands for Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy, which refers to the sudden, unexpected death of a person with epilepsy when no other cause can be found. It is the leading cause of death in people with epilepsy.

There are several man key steps to lower SUDEP risks:

• Take anti-seizure medications strictly as prescribed and on time
• Identify and avoid personal seizure triggers (ie; stress, heat, exhaustion)
• Ensure adequate, consistent sleep.

At The Epilepsy Centre seizure first aid training is at NO CHARGE for people living with epilepsy and their families.
