Have your say on #epilepsyday!

February 9th 2015

The first ever International Epilepsy Day takes place on Monday 9th February 2015. Epilepsy Ireland invites people with epilepsy and their family members and carers to write a short piece of about 300 words to help raise awareness of epilepsy. This can be about anything epilepsy-related, that you feel the public needs to know about or understand better. Simply fill in the form below and send it to us at before January 7th 2015.

A selection of blogs will be posted on epilepsy.ie in the run-up to International Epilepsy Day and promoted nationally and internationally using social media. Don’t forget to send us a photo of yourself as well.

If you wish to submit a video blog (maximum length 2 minutes), please enter a download link in the “My Blog” section below. You can use services such as Vimeo to upload your video or transfer it directly through sites like WeTransfer. Unfortunately, videos cannot be accepted by email.

Please contact us at if you have any queries.
