Rose Week took place from October 11th - 17th and we would like to thank everyone who supported our national fundraising week - be it by donating, taking part in a virtual challenge, by planting a virtual rose or by using their socials to help spread the word about the work of Epilepsy Ireland.
If you were unable to donate during the week or missed any of the stories we shared during #RoseWeek, we have linked to these below. While Rose Week was our national fundraising week where we put a sole focus on our need to raise funds to support our work, fundraising efforts take place year round. If you would like to get involved or have a fundraising idea, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our team by emailing fundraising@epilepsy.ie.
Once again, thank you for your support and together, we can achieve a society where no person's life is limited by epilepsy.
