Story

#sugarfreeforepilepsy is about dumping the CARBage from your diet for one month in support of epilepsy, Glut1, PDHD and brain cancer Ketogenic patients.  Children and adults on a prescribed ketogenic dietary therapy are sugar-free EVERY day.  We want to raise awareness of how effective this medical treatment can be for people with drug resistant epilepsy.  Matthew's Friends charity support all aspects of this treatment, from initial information and support for families, help with recipes and advice on cooking and baking on the #ketokitchen YouTube channel, to supporting training for health care professionals in managing the diet successfully and providing funding to Ketogenic centres in the UK and Ireland.... plus lots more besides!  

Get together with work colleagues, family and friends and give up chocolate, sweets, cakes and biscuits and even alcohol!  You will feel wonderful, save and donate the money you raise, plus lose weight in readiness for the Christmas party season! 

Ditch the traditional sugar laden 'bake sale' and hold a healthy fruit or sugar free version.  We have some fabulous tasty sugar free recipes for you to try, if you just can't survive without the treats!

You have nothing to lose apart from inches and you'll be helping a very worth charity at the same time. 

Why not create your own JustGiving page for YOUR event and link to this campaign.  We have special #sugarfreeforepilepsy sponsor forms too.
