Yes, I want to double my impact in pursuit of a cure for epilepsy ([link removed])

Dear ,

Epilepsy doesn’t stop because of COVID-19, and last night we proved that our annual Benefit doesn’t either. If you were not able to join us live for Unite to Cure Epilepsy, you can catch the full virtual event here ([link removed]) .

2020 has challenged all of us to think differently, and today we have an exciting opportunity for you. Last night, Dianne Raso via the Ann G. and James B. Ritchey Foundation awarded CURE a $50,000 matching grant. Through this generous gift, all donations made between last night’s announcement and next Friday, October 2 will be doubled.

Please donate to CURE right now and double your impact ([link removed]) for Vera, for Michael, for Dr. Kalume and for the entire epilepsy community.

Vera, a tenacious toddler whose story we shared last evening, cannot wait for a cure. She recently took her first steps, but at any moment a debilitating seizure may take those steps away.

Dr. Franck Kalume, a CURE Grantee in pursuit of discovery, has dedicated his life to finding a cure in honor of his nephew, who passed away from Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). He is making extraordinary progress and needs our help to continue to fund his groundbreaking research.

Michael, an ambitious and charismatic teen, shared with us that he will not let epilepsy keep him from accomplishing his goals. It is our responsibility to ensure that he can continue to persevere.
Double my impact in pursuit of a cure for epilepsy ([link removed])
Science leads to answers, and with your help, CURE-funded researchers are ready to find them. In honor of the 65 million people worldwide living with epilepsy and in memory of those who inspire us every day to keep fighting, it’s time to unite to cure this devastating disease once and for all.

With overwhelming gratitude,

Beth Lewin Dean, CEO

PS: Due to the timing of this email, I understand that you may have already donated to CURE live during last night’s event. If this is the case, my apologies for the additional donation request and my sincere gratitude for your generous support.
