One in 26 of us will develop epilepsy in our lifetimes.More people suffer from epilepsy than multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and Parkinson’s Disease combined, yet epilepsy research funding totals less than half of any one of those other conditions.
Seizures affect our families, friends, neighbors, seniors, military veterans, infants and children … including a teenager named Lily. With her as our inspiration, we bring epilepsy out of the shadows, in hopes of spurring more investment in research here at the UW-Madison.
Since its inception in 2007, Lily’s Fund for Epilepsy Research has flourished, thanks to the volunteers, donors, friends, and businesses who have embraced our cause.
You can help too, by attending Lily's Luau, the major fundraiser for Lily's Fund for Epilepsy Research. Join me Saturday January 21st at Union South from 6:30 p.m.-midnight and help the cause while enjoying a tropical party in the middle of winter.
Get your Hula On! Hope to see you there!
