My daughter, Piper, is my 1 in 26. She has focal awareness seizures and is incredibly strong and resilient. She has not let epilepsy define her or hold her back, and she helps others with epilepsy and neurological disorders. She is my hero. 💜

I was diagnosed with epilepsy in June of 2023, after months of not knowing what was going on. I went to see a neurologist and was prescribed an anti-seizure medication. After many trials and errors, I am now almost 4 months seizure-free. More stories:

A year ago, I started my day like any other, trying to get as many tasks done as I could. Suddenly, everything changed. I woke up with my husband beside me, telling me to stay still because I had hit my head during a seizure. I’m proud to say I’ve been seizure-free for a year.
