Dear
Friend,
My name is Channing Seideman, and it’s been an honor to work with CURE Epilepsy as part of their Community Enrichment Program. Before epilepsy entered my life, like any kid, I had big dreams. I was set on becoming a doctor and an Olympic equestrian. Then, at the age of 10, after having two seizures, I was diagnosed with epilepsy.
For years my family and I held out hope. But that hope was crushed after a VEEG revealed seizure activity consistent with life-long juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. And my world was turned upside down.
Now, 22 years later, I have a medication cocktail of 4 different anti-seizure medications and a VNS, and I still have not been able to find seizure control. But, through research there is hope, and that is exactly what CURE Epilepsy has given me. As the leading organization worldwide in advancing breakthrough epilepsy research, CURE Epilepsy is laser-focused on finding answers for the millions of people just like me.
CURE Epilepsy currently has more than 40 active research projects and has funded over $2 million in new grants. Every discovery brings us closer to a seizure-free future, and none of this progress is possible without the generosity of donors like you.
Today, your support can help accelerate the search for a cure. Your generosity fuels innovative research bringing us closer to answers, to breakthroughs, and to a cure.
With gratitude,
