Some highlights from our incredibly busy month so far . . . We kicked off November with Epilepsy Awareness Day at Disneyland, which was fantastic! There were many, many opportunities for families to gather information on treatments, advancements, and support services. We moderated an inspiring session on a new regenerative cell therapy in development for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy, recorded two episodes of Seizing Life, and showcased board member Kelly Cervantes’ new book Normal Broken. The following week, I had the privilege of attending the Isaiah Stone Foundation Golf Tournament in Oklahoma City and joining them in increasing awareness of the prevalence and impact of epilepsy while raising funds and enjoying a beautiful day. We also supported our CURE Epilepsy Champions running the NYC Marathon and celebrated the first annual Jeavons Syndrome Awareness Day.  And just this week, we participated in a Congressional Briefing by the bipartisan Epilepsy Caucus in Washington DC. All of this and it is only the middle of November!
As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving next week and the blessings that we have in our lives, I want to take a moment and thank you. Thank you for opening and reading this CURE Epilepsy Update. Thank you if you have been a CURE Epilepsy Champion or have run with Team CURE Epilepsy in a marathon. Thank you for following us on social media and helping spread epilepsy awareness as well as the need for more epilepsy research with your network. Thank you to SK Life Science for their generosity in matching all of the donations made during Epilepsy Awareness Month up to $50k. Thank you for choosing to support CURE Epilepsy on Giving Tuesday. Thank you for sharing our vision to live in a world without epilepsy. Thanks to all of you, we are closer now than we have ever been before.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
With gratitude,
