An Adventure Story
Seize Your Adventure is a podcast that showcases positive stories of people with epilepsy within the adventure movement. Produced by Fran Turauskis, the episodes alternate between creative non-fiction stories told by a person with epilepsy, and conversations with guests. By using the the power of the outdoors and connecting over a joint interest, this podcast is a unique way to appeal to all avid adventurers, and spread epilepsy awareness at the same time.
Epilepsy affects everyone differently, and everyone with epilepsy will have a different definition of ‘adventure’. Some of us take on challenges beyond most people in full health, whilst for others there is nothing small about a microadventure. We might climb walls weeks after brain surgery, run between regular seizures or cross countries with the medicine to stop symptoms in our bag. Having epilepsy means that there are always extra considerations – but it would be the same if we stayed at home! We believe that with the necessary precautions and the right encouragement, adventure awaits for us all.
The Backstory
“On a post-referendum quest to discover more of Europe, I decided to take a five-hundred mile walk across Spain. In the summer of 2017, I finished my contract as a Content Editor and set out to walk the Camino de Santiago. I expected sore feet, time to think and intimate talks with strangers (mainly about blisters). I didn’t expect my epilepsy to be such a focus of conversation and source of admiration. Speaking about epilepsy with people from around the world, most of whom knew little about the condition, I saw that lack of awareness is a universal problem.
