Increase Epilepsy Awareness
Epilepsy is a condition where a person has repeated seizures.
A seizure is an abnormal discharge of electrical activity in the brain.
1 in 10 will experience a seizure.
1 in 26 will be diagnosed at some point in their life.
14,000 people in Hawaii live with active epilepsy – 2,000 are children
3.4 million people in the United States have epilepsy – 470,000 are children
When a person’s seizures are managed and under control, they can expect improvements in their quality of life.
