I was recently diagnosed with epilepsy. I experienced three tonic-clonic seizures. I felt like my whole life had turned upside-down, but I am pursuing my dream of going to nursing school. I try to stay positive even when I'm not feeling well. More stories: https://t.co/Od18fjN0pA

For Mike, being All In means fully committing to understanding epilepsy and seeking the best resources, treatments, and support available for children like his son George. He's constantly learning about what is often a complex condition. #NEAM2025 #AllInForEpilepsy

My 1 in 26 is our daughter, Elin. In utero, she was diagnosed with multiple brain malformations that gave her a higher proclivity to developing epilepsy. Elin is now 22 months old and is thriving! She walks, talks, reads, and is an inspiration to every single person she meets.

My efforts embody the spirit of being All In because I don’t just want to raise awareness; I want to make a difference. Through my art, voice, and advocacy, I am committed to showing what epilepsy truly looks like: resilience, creativity, and strength that refuse to be silenced.

Sabrina had her first seizure when she was just 2 years old, and it had a big impact on her as she grew up. She often felt different from other kids her age. As she got older, she realized that while epilepsy is a part of her, it doesn’t define her. More: https://t.co/CQ6ZXXI3F4
