Move for Epilepsy
March is Epilepsy Awareness Month in Australia.
To mark it, we’re inviting our community to come together for March Month of Movement – Move for Epilepsy.
For the entire month of March, participants commit to moving their body every day, in any way that works for them - to raise awareness, build community, and fund vital support for Australians living with epilepsy.
This challenge is inclusive by design. Movement looks different for everyone, and every kind of movement counts.
Walking. Running. Stretching. Swimming. Yoga. Wheelchair movement. Dancing in the kitchen. Gentle rehab. One minute or one hour - it all matters.
Together, we move. Together, we raise awareness. Together, we make an impact.
Hosted by 1IN25 Foundation
How it works
1. Sign up (it's free!)
Register via the sign-up link and you’re officially part of the challenge.
2. Move daily in March
Commit to some form of movement every day - however your body allows, however you choose.
3. Join the WhatsApp community
You’ll be added to a supportive WhatsApp group where participants:
- Encourage each other
- Share daily movement wins
- Celebrate progress (big and small)
4. Share your movement
Participants are encouraged (not required) to share a photo or short clip of their daily movement.
We’ll turn these into daily community reels across our social channels so everyone can see the collective impact.
5. Fundraise together
We’ll use one shared fundraising link for the entire community - so every donation contributes to a single, powerful total.
Let’s see how much we can raise together.
What counts as movement?
Everything.
- Walking or running
- Gym sessions
- Swimming or cycling
- Yoga, pilates, stretching
- Wheelchair movement
- Physiotherapy or rehab exercises
- Playtime with kids
- Gardening
- Dancing
- Gentle movement on hard days
If your body moved - it counts.
Fundraising & support
All participants will receive a short, editable fundraising message they can personalise and share with friends, family, and colleagues.
You can:
- Share the community fundraising link
- Invite others to donate
- Share why you’re moving for epilepsy
Every contribution helps fund awareness, advocacy, and support for families living with epilepsy.
The Purple March tee 👕
To mark the month, we’ve created a special March Month of Movement tee.
Participants can:
- Buy one for themselves
- Share it with their networks
💜 $5 from every tee sold is added to our fundraising total, amplifying the impact of the challenge.
Wearing the tee is optional - movement and participation always come first.
Prizes 🎉
There will be prizes throughout the month, including:
- Participation-based prizes
- Random draws
- Community shout-outs
Because this is about showing up - not competing.
Why we’re doing this
1 in 25 Australians will be diagnosed with epilepsy in their lifetime.
March Month of Movement is about:
- Visibility
- Understanding
- Community
- Action
One month. One shared goal. One community moving together.
