Why your participation matters:

1 in 10 people will experience a seizure in their lifetime1 in 26 people will be diagnosed with epilepsy17,000 Idahoans are living with epilepsy3.4 MILLION individuals nationwide are affected by epilepsy

 

More people live with epilepsy than with autism spectrum disorders, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy combined. Epilepsy is one of the world’s oldest known medical conditions, yet people with epilepsy still face stigma and misunderstanding. 1/3 of individuals are able to control their seizures with diet, medications and other therapies; others continue to struggle with an unexplained diagnosis. Much more research is needed to understand the cause of epilepsy and eventually find a cure.
