In November, we don’t only celebrate Thanksgiving , but it’s also National Epilepsy Month, during which all the epilepsy advocates dedicate the month to educating people on seizures and epilepsy.
This year, epilepsy advocate, Greg Grunberg has teamed up with Sunovion Pharmaceuticals to create the social media campaign #MyEpilepsyHero. This campaign invites people to share a video or picture of that person who has made a positive impact in their lives. This impact can be anything from a family member helping you deal with epilepsy or just listening, it can be a doctor or just someone who inspires you.
The goal is to get 500 #MyEpilepsyHero posts by December 16 and they will donate $10,000 to The Epilepsy Foundation. So I encourage you to share your epilepsy hero.
I already shared mine:
#MyEpilepsyHero is my family, my parents, my brother, my grandparents and my aunt who are always making sure I have and took my medicine. They were always there when I had a seizure and are always there to celebrate when a month goes by and I’m still seizure free.
And I have many more, my neurologist, therapists and friends. Thanks to all my heroes I’m enjoying a seizure free life and I’m loving it!
Who’s your epilepsy hero?

I’m an aspiring writer still looking for exactly what I want to write about, with a lot of creativity, imagination and desire to write.
I studied Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University where I explored many different sides of writing through my classes and extracurricular activities in order to narrow my search for an identity as a writer.
I have written for Citrus TV Noticias and La Voz magazine, both of which gave me the chance to explore different mediums in which to write in. Through Citrus TV Noticias I also gained experience in translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, which is also something that I would be interested in working on since I am fluent in both of these languages. I was also an intern at Syracuse University Press where I got hands on experience in what goes into actually editing and publishing a book.
Through out the last four years I have faced a lot of challenges, which helped chape the person I am today. After being in a tragic car accident, being in comma, having a Traumatic Brain Injury, and being in therapy for over a year, I am a new me, willing to face challenges and knowing how to deal with them. I want to write about my accident and life after it to help others, show them it can be done and help in any way I can.
