Dear Friend of CURE Epilepsy,


Many milestones mark the journey through fatherhood—for parents of children with epilepsy, a specific diagnosis can be an important benchmark. The day my son, Silas, received his diagnosis of Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) coincided with the groundbreaking discovery of the particular genetic mutation that causes SWS. A quarter century of research developments led to this discovery—and a day of hope for all with this diagnosis.


That day signaled to my family that we had to help invest in research that could one day lead to a cure. That is why we have supported CURE Epilepsy for the past five years.

This Father’s Day, I ask you to join me in investing in epilepsy research by making a gift to CURE Epilepsy today. We must find a cure—for Silas and every child with epilepsy whose fathers spend sleepless nights full of worry and for every father living with epilepsy, so they can experience fatherhood to the fullest.


When you make a gift in honor of a father, we will send that dad a special note of encouragement.  

 

With gratitude and hope, 

Kris Sadens 
Silas’ Father
