Each year, 45,000 children in the United States are diagnosed with epilepsy. For some, the seizures are so frequent and severe that they are unresponsive to a cocktail of anti-epileptic drugs. Epilepsy surgery, where part of the brain is removed, destroyed, disconnected, or stimulated, can stop or reduce the seizures. We are a non-profit corporation that enhances the lives of children who need neurosurgery to treat drug-resistant epilepsy by empowering their families with research, support services, and impactful programs across the lifespan.
