Renee from Purple Adventures

Patient Leader

Thanks for clicking on my profile! I’m Renee; I’m 19 & live in regional Queensland. At first glance you can’t tell I have epilepsy or a functional neurological disorder let alone what that means for my day to day life. After years of hiding & silently suffering I set out on a mission with an annual awareness campaign & my blog. Purple Adventures gives insight into experiences as someone living with various invisible chronic medical conditions. I hope my stories reach people who; need to know they’re not alone, want to know more about what loved ones might be going through or need to be shown stigma & misconceptions they know of may not be true. All I do is to educate & connect.

Nominations

From sharing useful facts, to creating this blog to help raise awareness to epilepsy, so other people don’t feel alone with it, but also so people have a reliable source of info
