Did you know that St. Valentine was the patron saint of love, beekeepers and… epilepsy?
That’s right; the man responsible for giant teddy bears and edible underwear was also a champion for brain health!
He can be found in numerous paintings helping those with “the falling sickness”, as it was known in ancient times.
Well, this Valentines Day we’re falling for Gemini Chocolate’s Rebecca Walker-Roberts, whose epilepsy is close to her heart.
Diagnosed at 19, Rebecca wants the world to know the struggles of the condition: from medication shortages to trouble driving, and the misconceptions around what an epileptic fit can look like.
This February, in the name of charity, Rebecca and her colleagues will be fundraising by participating in various challenges, serving up a limited edition Purple Latte, and having a raffle at the Gemini cafe on North Bar Within.
Head on down from Tuesday 11th - Saturday 15th and contribute to this worthy cause!
