WHY PARTNER WITH US

Support from businesses — big and small, local and national — is vital to our work.

NORSE and FIRES are rare and catastrophic neurological emergencies that strike previously healthy children and adults without warning, with life-changing consequences. One in five people will not survive the acute stage and there is currently no cure.

Families often describe feeling terrified, isolated and overwhelmed whilst navigating an unknown and devastating journey. 

Despite their severity, there remains a significant lack of understanding, research and awareness surrounding NORSE and FIRES — amongst clinicians, researchers and the wider public — alongside limited dedicated support for affected families.

Driven by lived experience and strengthened through collaboration with leading clinicians, researchers and specialist organisations, we fund research, raise awareness and provide family support.

The impact we are making is only possible thanks to the generosity of our supporters, fundraisers and charity partners.

Families are suddenly thrown into a world of epilepsy, intensive care, medically induced comas, and uncertainty, as doctors battle to stop the relentless seizures and protect the brain.
