We asked you to share your experiences—not those of individuals diagnosed with epilepsy, but those of their family members, friends, or colleagues. Today, we would like to say thank you to Celine, a mum of a daughter diagnosed with epilepsy. Her misconception about epilepsy changed after her daughter was diagnosed with epilepsy.

Today, Puri Hauiti, a father and teacher, shares how his son has epilepsy and how the whanau coped, which led him to become an author. He has written a series of books about Maia, who lives with Epilepsy; these sensitive and empowering stories follow Maia as he navigates life and finds courage after a sudden epilepsy diagnosis.

Our educators have some copies of one of Puri's books or go to https://maia-the-kaitiaki.myshopify.com/collections/all

A Huge Thursday Thank You to Pub Charity.

One of our largest and longest funders, this year Pub Charity is supporting our educators in Northland, Auckland, Hawke's Bay, Hutt, Wellington, Nelson, Marlborough, Canterbury and Otago!

that's a massive reach and we couldn't do it without them and their venues, running across the country to feed community funds back into their communities.

Thank You Pub Charity.
