Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Cincinnati, Inc.

Local Heroes

The 'Heroes Among Us' program allows people with epilepsy in their lives to tell their stories to others and to help raise funds for the work of the Epilepsy Foundation. Epilepsy affects people's lives in many ways, and now people can tell their stories -- about their loved ones, about themselves -- of how they are living their lives while dealing with the everyday challenges of having a seizure disorder.
