Why I Fundraise For CURE Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a cause that is very close to my heart because it has touched my family in a very personal way. In 2010, my world changed when both of my daughters were diagnosed with epilepsy just one month apart.
My oldest was 16, and my youngest was only 10. While my oldest daughter’s seizures were brought under control fairly quickly, my youngest faced a much more difficult journey. As a parent, watching your children go through something like this is heartbreaking. There are so many worries, uncertainties, and questions that come with a diagnosis like epilepsy.
Thankfully, today both of my daughters have their epilepsy under control, and I am incredibly grateful for that. But the experience changed me forever. From the moment they were diagnosed, epilepsy became my cause and something I wanted to help bring awareness to.
Since then, I’ve also seen epilepsy affect other families close to me. A coworker has a son with epilepsy, and a friend has a daughter living with it as well. It has made me realize just how many families are affected by this condition and how important it is to continue supporting research, education, awareness, and finding better treatments.
This cause is personal to me. I’m fundraising for my daughters, for the families I know, and for every person living with epilepsy. Together, we can help bring hope, support, and a brighter future to those affected by this condition.
Thank you for supporting me and helping make a difference!
About CURE Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder diagnosed when a person has two or more unprovoked seizures. It affects more people than multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s disease, and ALS combined. Yet, despite its prevalence, epilepsy receives less federal funding per person compared to these other brain disorders, which leads to critical gaps in research. Epilepsy is heterogeneous; it presents differently in each person affected and varies in severity. There is an urgent need to unravel the complexity of epilepsy, accelerate research and fill funding gaps, and develop therapies so that all those with epilepsy are able to achieve seizure freedom until we find cures.
