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.
