“The more I meet people and speak about epilepsy, the more I realize that my experience with the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy is not unique. I am glad to know that the Epilepsy Foundation is there providing the information and services that people need.”
“In this country people have been living in the shadows and hiding their shame for far too long. Sadly, many parents tell their children, ‘Don’t tell anyone you have epilepsy.’ I say that people with epilepsy need to come out of the shadows. When you speak up—when you Talk About It!—it makes such a difference.”
“Speaking about epilepsy is important to me; the more we Talk About It! the more we empower our youth to achieve their goals and dreams. Educating and informing communities allows stigmas to be removed and people to understand the condition.”
