My Story…


Like the marathon, living with epilepsy requires patience, understanding, acceptance and support. Our family lives with epilepsy and we are determined to reach the finish line with the help of our friends at the Minnesota Epilepsy Foundation. Please consider supporting their effort through your donations.

Impact of Your Gift

Please join me in advocating for the epilepsy community by reaching out to your legislators and supporting the work for the Minnesota Epilepsy Foundation. Together, we can make epilepsy a health priority and ensure that no one who suffers from epilepsy is alone.

 


Description

 Your gift to the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota today provides:

  • Education on research-based strategies to manage epilepsy for Minnesotans living with epilepsy
  • Supported access to healthcare and treatments
  • Personalized support navigating barriers to employment, education, and basic living needs
  • Social programs that build meaningful connections, including social events, youth programs, and peer-based Connect Groups
  • Seizure recognition and response training for 10,000+ individuals working and living in Minnesota annually


Together, we are making sure no one in Minnesota faces epilepsy alone.
