DONATE TO CURE EPILEPSY HERE

Christy Shake: United States; My son Calvin was born six weeks early with significant neurological problems of unknown origin. When he turned two he was diagnosed with epilepsy, which eclipsed all other adversity he'd encountered. No drug or dietary treatment has completely controlled his seizures. I write about the challenges we encounter, and the great perspective we gain as a result. I post something every day in an effort to increase epilepsy awareness, dispel the myths, promote understanding and inspire empathy, all in hope of a cure.
