March is Epilepsy Queensland’s annual fundraising and awareness month.

CEO of Epilepsy Queensland, Sandi Rodiger, told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "Epilepsy affects far more people than what is probably known. We say roughly 1 in 25 people will be diagnosed with epilepsy in their lifetime, and that's roughly about 270,000 people in Australia currently living with epilepsy and around 40 odd thousand in Queensland, so it is very prevalent."

 Mum of a young athlete who has epilepsy, Natalie Sandow added, "Aamira did not allow epilepsy to stand in her way at all."

"Once she got the clearance, she just went full force on that sporting field. She has, focal seizures, so she has awareness when she has seizures and is quite capable to play her sports because of that," Ms Sandow continued.
