World Epilepsy Day

Gong for World Epilepsy Day

The Epilepsy Fund opens the Amsterdam exchange on World Epilepsy Day. The fund, founded 125 years ago, calls for attention to the disorder of epilepsy, the consequences it has and the taboo that it surrounds. Matthijs (9) sounds the gong. He became seizure free 18 months ago thanks to a radical brain operation.

Thanks to a large group of donors, the Epilepsy Fund is committed to people like Matthijs for 125 years. The fund celebrates this anniversary year by dedicating extra attention to and research into epilepsy. Because epilepsy has a profound effect on life. By means of research, information and assistance, the Epilepsy Fund makes every effort to offer people with epilepsy and their loved ones a better quality of life.
