Amanda Robar

Amanda is an inspiration to all who meet her.  Amanda has had seizures from the day she was born and at three years old was diagnosed with epilepsy.

Growing up Amanda never let her epilepsy stop her from doing the things she loved such as gymnastics, swimming, theatre, going on family vacations and even taking a solo trip to Mexico in 2015.  

As a member of Epilepsy York Region, Amanda has done talks in schools and at seniors homes explaining the benefits of having a service dog when you suffer from epilepsy.  Amanda has also had the privilege to host a booth at a major epilepsy expo in Anaheim California, Epilepsy Awareness Day at Disneyland. At this event Amanda has met thousands of people, connected with all ages who have similar seizures to herself and has been able to help those people explain to their family members what they are going through. 

Amanda is here to help parents navigate the world of epilepsy and give hope to those suffering from this disease.
