Reminder: Epilepsy Support Network of Orange County Epilepsy Walk

This Saturday, April 23, 2016, is the Epilepsy Walk for the Epilepsy Support Network of Orange County in southern California, where 32,000 people are affected by epilepsy. 

This is the organization that I am involved in and participate in all of their activities.  They have supported me through difficult times, such as when I had my VNS implanted.  They do a lot of educational programming and outreach as well as support.  The end goal, of course, is to find a cure for this disorder.

With just a few days left before the Walk, I hope you can make a donation to support me.

Thanks!

Planning for end of life issues is a difficult topic to talk about with family, especially in Western culture.  Here, we think we are invincible and try to live our lives as actively as possible.
