Did you know that 3 million people in America live with epilepsy and about 1/3 of those have a type of seizure that can't be controlled with available medical treatments? Even more, an estimated 50,000 deaths occur yearly in the U.S. due to epileptic seizures and their complications. This is the sad reality that so many people have to face. The Epilepsy community desperately needs better medical treatment, support, research, and understanding to move forward, which is reflected in these testimonials.
