Hi
Friend,
From birthdays to galas to baby showers, I love planning parties. As CURE Epilepsy’s Events Manager, I’m proud to bring people together in celebration and hope. This work is immensely personal for me as my sister, Hannah, navigates life with epilepsy. I invite you to join me in advancing the research that brings hope to families like mine. ([link removed])

For more than 12 years, I’ve witnessed firsthand how epilepsy complicates even the best moments of Hannah’s life. I held her hand in the emergency room the night before our mom’s wedding after her rescue medications failed to stop a seizure. Our family beamed as she became a firefighter and Advanced EMT after a severe seizure-related injury delayed her career path. We spent hours on the phone discussing her dream of motherhood and the risks of starting a family while on antiseizure medication.

Alongside each triumph, Hannah feels the weight of “what if” on her shoulders – what if the medications stop working?; what if I have another seizure?; what if my dreams are interrupted?

With your year-end support, CURE Epilepsy funded research can reduce the “what ifs” that so many families carry every day. ([link removed])

This month, Hannah welcomed her first baby into the world. Amidst the joys and challenges of new parenthood, and the overwhelming love and responsibility that come with caring for a newborn, Hannah carries the added weight of uncertainty. At any moment, a seizure could strike, disrupting precious bonding time for her and her baby. Yet, she continues to face all of it with remarkable strength and grace, determined to give her child the very best while managing the realities of living with epilepsy.

CURE Epilepsy exists to change that reality. That’s why I am here. Through donor-funded research, we’re fueling discoveries that are leading to new treatments, a holistic understanding of the brain, and an end to the “what ifs.” Ultimately – a cure.

Please join my family today – help fund the next discovery. TOGETHER, we can create a world without epilepsy. ([link removed])

From the heart,

Madeline Felipez
