Epilepsy Queensland

29/05/2026

We're continually inspired by the incredible people in our community who find creative ways to support the work we do.

Events like the upcoming O'BrienCo Race Day are a wonderful example of how businesses, community groups and individuals can come together, have fun, and make a meaningful difference for people living with epilepsy and their families.

Every fundraiser, workplace event, community gathering or special occasion hosted in support of Epilepsy Queensland helps create greater awareness, connection and impact. We're so grateful to those who choose to champion our cause and bring others along on the journey.

This event in particular honours a very special individual, Lauren 'Loz' Smith, who tragically lost her life to SUDEP. Her legacy lives on through her family, friends and wider community and is a reminder to us all about the impact we can make when we we honour those we love through action, connection and community.

Thank you to O'BrienCo and everyone who continues to find ways to support the 50,000 Queenslanders impacted by epilepsy💜

Epilepsy is often misunderstood as “just seizures”.

But for people like Maddie, it means fear, rejection, isolation and loss of independence.

It’s planning every day around the risk of something you can’t actually control.

We’re sharing Maddie’s story to show what epilepsy really looks like, and the difference a little help can make.

Have you just received an epilepsy diagnosis and you're not sure where to go from here?

Maybe you've been dealing with seizures for years but haven't found anyone else who understands they challenges you're going through?

This is what our Community Connection events are for - bringing people together who otherwise might not have crossed paths, to show others with epilepsy that they aren't alone.

This is your chance to learn more about epilepsy in a supportive and friendly environment, while forming connections while you're there.
