Today, to coincide with our first anniversary as the Epilepsy Research Institute, we are thrilled to launch our ‘One in 100’ campaign, to raise awareness and secure vital funding for epilepsy research.
In the UK, One in 100 people live with uncertainty, live with fear – live with epilepsy. 30% experience uncontrolled seizures, 50% have no known cause and, tragically, there are three epilepsy-related deaths every day in the UK.
It’s time to change these numbers for good.
Epilepsy research has been hindered for decades by underfunding and a lack of visibility.
The One in 100 campaign is calling on the entire epilepsy community — people affected by the condition, funders, government, charities and key stakeholders — to unite in our mission to:
- Raise awareness for the One in 100
- Accelerate investment for the One in 100
- Advance research for the One in 100
There’s strength in numbers.
Only by working together, can we drive forward meaningful change and make a real difference for those affected by epilepsy. We need your support – your donations, your campaigning, your advocacy – to ensure we can deliver the breakthroughs our community needs and radically advance research for the One in 100.
