My Story…
Living with epilepsy has impacted my life in ways that extend far beyond the seizures themselves. The uncertainty, fear, and anxiety that can follow a seizure have been some of the most difficult parts of my journey.
This cause is especially meaningful to me. As I continue my education, I’m hoping to complete one of my college placements with Epilepsy Ottawa and eventually use both my personal experiences and education to help and support others.
This Saturday, I’ll be taking part in the Ottawa Fire Truck Pull to help raise funds for Epilepsy Ottawa and the Ottawa First Responders Foundation—two organizations supporting causes that mean a great deal to me.
Any donation or share, big or small, is truly appreciated. 💜
Donate to help Vanessa raise money for 2026 Ottawa Fire Truck Pull’s fundraising campaign.
