Mission Statement
Our mission is to help eliminate the many myths and stigmas associated with epilepsy and related diseases, advocate for more funding, and help to empower people affected by seizures, so that they can create a better quality of life and achieve independence.
About Us
Our founder, suffers from intractable epilepsy himself, decided that due to the extreme lack of awareness and funding given to epilepsy, he decided to take action. Epilepsy Connection is made up of a group of dedicated people, and are resolute in our mission. The goal of the EC is to raise awareness and "connect the dots" of other conditions like autism to epilepsy (seizures) in the hopes that we can unite, get more media coverage and funding to find a cure for seizures.
The Foundation's goals are:
- Raise Epilepsy and SUDEP awareness for the prevention, control, and cure of epilepsy.
- Educate our community about the proper care and management needed for someone with Epilepsy.
- Provide a community-based forum in which patients, professionals and loved ones can become proactive and involved.
