Making the unseen visible. Invisible Disablities



My name is Winter, founder and national director of BIKERS4EPILEPSY NPC 2025/821533/08.

I am an advocate as well as a person living with invisible disabilities.

It's my mission with my charity to make the invisible (invisible disabilities) seen, understood, and accepted in a fresh new way.

By going to normal everyday person events (markets, car shows, festivals) and biker events (I'm a biker) every weekend around South Africa. Slowly breaking the stigma, misinformation, and providing real person terms talks with people, making a huge impact on the way invisible disabilities are seen.

By me, as a person with invisible disabilities, talking to people, it gives them a visual that people like me don't always seem different to them.

Explaining my experiences I go through, as well as the mental/physical impacts on my body, etc.

I'm stunned by how many people grasp the mental health effects on people living with invisible disabilities, as many can relate to their own struggles even when they do not have invisible disabilities themselves.

The point being to bring dignity and humanity back to persons living with invisible disabilities.

Many are not as lucky as I am to be able to advocate, educate, and spread awareness due to the severity of their medical conditions.

It's my vision/mission to enable the scary misunderstood, overlooked, alexithymic, ill-fated monster (invisible disabilities) to finally alchemize.

Crafting a rare and breathtaking experience that redefines the human spirit. Providing real hope to real people.

Misperception is only distorted ignorance.

I'm open to advice, ideas, and more!!!

Let's make 2026 into a SuperNova!!!

Every sponsorship/donation to BIKERS4EPILEPSY NPC does more than funding awareness, education, [and] public services that save lives.

It becomes visible, fueled by the thunderous heartbeats of real people whose dreams and hopes become reality.
