It is our mission to tirelessly advocate for those living with epilepsy through increased public awareness and by generating funding that will contribute to the development of life-saving treatments and therapies.”

I look forward to working with our local media, healthcare systems and community at large to keep epilepsy top of mind and most importantly, serve our population.”
