Jules has been affected by epilepsy since she was a kid and it's just been part of her life for as long as she can remember and she thought he daughter Annabelle would have the same experience. But Jules and her family were devastated when she lost her daughter to SUDEP.
SUDEP is the sudden, unexpected death of a person affected by epilepsy. Every day someone in Australia loses their life as a result of epilepsy and half of those are a result of SUDEP. 
Jules now sits on the board of Epilepsy Tasmania and has resolved to do all she can to help others affected by epilepsy and to raise funds for epilepsy research. This episode is devoted to her story. 
Most people don't like to talk about epilepsy, but about one in five of us are affected by it, directly or indirectly. Despite this, there is still a seemingly immoveable stigma surrounding the condition.
Epilepsy is far more than just seizures, and we hope these stories will give you an insight into this.
Epilepsy is a common brain condition that takes the form of recurring seizures. It can develop at any age, regardless of ethnicity or gender.
