Joel’s Story

Five years ago I was hit with epilepsy randomly. I was on my way to potentially becoming a professional snowboarder. But unfortunately that was cut short. Was having about 10-20 seizures in periods of 48hrs every 2-3 weeks and w as put into the McGill neurological institute twice. Had almost every type of seizures possible.

Took so much energy but still I persisted, I wanted to continue having fun with work and enjoying life.

Five years later and I’m one year seizure free and feel amazing! I enjoy life so much more now.

 

I will always speak up about it, as I have lost some friends cause of it and I have survived it. People need to know more about it and if I can motivate even one person, that makes me very happy! I believe the struggle and the journey made me stronger.

I still snowboard and do all my crazy stunts. Epilepsy will never stop me from doing what I love.
