Unite to CURE Epilepsy: Tenacity. Discovery. Hope. It's more than our 2020 virtual event theme — it's our commitment to you. If you missed our event, you can view it here ([link removed]) . As the theme suggests, not even COVID-19 will stop us from our goal of finding a cure for epilepsy, but we need your help. We need to unite to cure this devastating disease.
We have two days left to meet the challenge that Dianne Raso, through the Ann G. and James B. Ritchey Foundation, put forth to us: raise $50,000 for Unite to CURE Epilepsy and they will match it. Through this generous gift, all donations through tomorrow night, 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 during the event, 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
