The Peter Doody Foundation is a community of people that work to normalise epilepsy, helping young adults get on with their lives
How
Epilepsy is a serious condition but the way we support and provide information needn’t be! We host regular events to raise awareness about all aspects of epilepsy and work hard to normalise the whole experience for our young adults and people around them. From music festivals and masked balls to workshops, walks and cafe meet ups, we’re always looking for new ways to reach out and help in any way we can.
Why
The Peter Doody Foundation was formed under incredibly unfortunate circumstances. Joanne and Andrew Doody lost their 21 year old son Peter suddenly to epilepsy in May 2019. They created the foundation to support other young adults, their families, friends and carers who are dealing with the effects of epilepsy so that more people are well informed and able to carry on with their lives to the fullest potential.
