In Loving Memory of Adelaide Cervantes

When Adelaide Cervantes was just seven months old, she had the first of what would be many seizures to come. Two months later, she was diagnosed with infantile spasms, a rare and severe form of epilepsy. In Adelaide's case, the spasms were caused by an unknown neurodegenerative disorder.

Adelaide spent the next three years battling epilepsy before passing just days before her fourth birthday in October 2019. Her incredible spirit, undeniable charm, and lasting impact on those around her will always live on.

Science was never able to catch up to Adelaide but her parents, Kelly and Miguel Cervantes, continue their pursuit to raise funds for epilepsy research. They have generously given their time and talents through involvement in the New York and Chicago benefits, their My Shot at Epilepsy campaign, Ham Jams concert events, online fundraising efforts, and more.
