CURE - Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy

Beth Lewin Dean Greetings! In 2003, Congress passed a formal resolution declaring November as Epilepsy Awareness Month to end the stigma surrounding epilepsy and bring attention to this condition. Epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological disease in the US, however it is much less understood and receives significantly less funding ([link removed]) than other neurological diseases. Take advantage of this month to talk about epilepsy - to a friend, to a colleague, to a family member.

Throughout this month, we’ll be posting videos and articles on Facebook ([link removed]) , Twitter ([link removed]) , and Instagram ([link removed]) for you to share to spread awareness about living with epilepsy. In addition, our exciting My Shot at Epilepsy Raffle ([link removed]) (which you can read about in this update) will raise funds to support CURE’s work while giving you the chance to attend the final Chicago Hamilton performance LIVE!

And there is more to share. In this update, please find information about:
* Rallying Your Friends to Fight for a Cure on #GivingTuesday ([link removed])
* How CURE Champions Run Toward a World without Epilepsy
* What’s New on the Seizing Life Podcast ([link removed])
* Joining us for the Annual Chicago Benefit ([link removed])

Warmest,
Beth Lewin Dean
