We would like to say a huge congratulations to our incredible volunteer Rebecca Reid who recently became an honorary member of An Garda Síochána. Rebecca was named an honorary member of the force at a ceremony at Templemore earlier last month.

Rebecca lives with a severe form of epilepsy, and she and her family have been long time supporters of our work. Alongside her sister Emma – her biggest supporter – Rebecca uses her experience to educate others about epilepsy.

Congratulations Rebecca - from everyone at EI!

It is so important that people living with epilepsy and their loved ones are aware of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).
While the exact reason why SUDEP happens is still unknown, research points to several factors that can potentially increase a person's risk of SUDEP. Being aware of these risks and how to potentially reduce them is vital information to know.

Please take a moment to visit our website to become SUDEP aware - https://www.epilepsy.ie/content/sudep

Best of luck to all the teams taking part in the Zara’s 7s tournament in Louth tomorrow.

This event is taking place in support of EI, in memory of the late Zara Murphy – who was just 13 years old when she passed away from Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) in July 2024.

During her all-too short life, Zara was sports mad and this event celebrates her passion for sports – bringing together teams from across the wider community. Putting the event together has been a trojan effort in her memory, showing how loved and missed Zara is by all who knew her – and the huge impact she had on the wider community despite her youth.

Thank you to everyone involved and for supporting the work of Epilepsy Ireland in Zara’s name – with a particular thanks to Zara’s parents Angela & Brian and her brother Ben.

We hope the sun shines brightly on the event tomorrow, as brightly as Zara shone during her life.

Zara Murphy – Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.
