| ... Aiden, an 8½-year-old little boy who was hospitalized for 10 days as doctors worked to get his seizures under control and who is now on four different medications. ... Luci, a typical teenager who loves riding horses and being part of her school’s bowling team. Luci’s seizures terrify her and often leave her feeling like she is “about to fall off a hill.” ... Little “Matty Moo,” an adorable 6-year-old boy. With Matty having up to 100 seizures a day, his parents felt lost and scared until they found the help and resources they needed at the Epilepsy Foundation. These are not fictional stories, but real-life situations that our friends, neighbors and family members are living with each and every day. In fact, even though epilepsy affects nearly 3 million Americans—more than autism, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s and cerebral palsy combined—it is one of the most underfunded disorders out there. And that is why we need your renewed support today. On behalf of Aiden, Luci, Matty Moo and the nearly 3 million people living with seizure disorders in the United States, thank you for your support. |
