"For the 65 million people worldwide with epilepsy, progress is unacceptably slow. Children with uncontrollable seizures frequently face a lifetime of challenges including misunderstandings about epilepsy, discrimination, and other epilepsy-related problems. Mortality rates among people with epilepsy are three times the rate of the general population, and sudden death rates are more than twenty times higher." 

Like many before me, I was not fully aware of the impact epilepsy can have on someone's life until it was too late. I’m raising money for CURE Epilepsy in support of my friends who have lost family and love ones. To avoid having a similar experience, please check out all the fantastic resources that can be found directly on the webpage below:
