I have been involved with EFVA for several years and I am touched by all they do for people and families struggling with Epiliespy. I love how they are giving grants to families looking to get a service dog. These dogs are highly trained and help many people become more independant. They allow the parents abilitt to sleep at ease. It allows some people to live on their own as these dogs can liteterily call for help if their charge is having a seizure. For this reason alone I ride! Please help continue such support services by contributing to my goal of $500.00.
