My daughter Elizabeth was diagnosed with Epilepsy when she was 12 years old. She is now 23 years old and one of the 30% of individuals with Epilepsey who cannot get their seizures under control. She has two medical devices (a Neuropace and a VNS) and is on three different anti-seizure medications but still has seizures. Elizabeth is passionate about raising awareness for Epilepsy and supporting the great work the Epilepsy Fundation of Virginia does to help those in Virginia battling this condition. Please help us help the EFVA by participating in or donating to the EFVA through the Tour de Midnight.
