Epilepsy Research
Tax deductible
Hi!
I'm Sara Staggs, and I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 18-months-old. Somehow, I managed to become a lawyer, a writer, a mother, and a wife, but seizures still get in my way. They are a part of my daily life - even if I don't have a seizure, I have to worry about whether I am too tired or too stressed or have exercised too much. Do I have enough medication to get me through the week? And if I do have a seizure, one of the amazing people in the cover photo has to step up to make sure I am safe.
My seizures have improved the past few years, thanks to some extraordinary neurologists and neurosurgeons, but the techniques and surgeries that those doctors used were only available because of years of research, and THAT is where you come in.
The funds you give to the American Epilepsy Foundation will go to research, education, and advocacy for people with epilepsy. Your money will help us all live our best lives. Please join me in making a difference on this #GivingTuesday. Any donation will make an impact! Give $1, $5, $25, $100 - whatever speaks to you. Every single dollar makes a difference!
Thank you for helping bring a brighter future for people with epilepsy!
With love,
Sara
