“Heroes” actor Greg Grunberg and “Pawn Star” Rick Harrison will co-host the “Talk About It for Epilepsy” Netathon presented by the national Epilepsy Foundation and Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc. This unique 12-hour live streaming event will be broadcast from Hollywood and will raise awareness and funds supporting the Foundation’s mission and the community it serves.
