This coming November will be Epilepsy Awareness Month. But I wonder, will this be another year without any mention of epilepsy in the news? I hope not.
It would be great to tackle the stigma and take on a campaign similar to Stand Up 2 Cancer. For now though, Epilepsy Foundation offices around the country are organizing events, conferences and walks to celebrate Epilepsy Awareness. With a little help they can raise the public consciousness.
