StertheKerr ,

You were a beacon of light and hope during a very dark time.

You both have changed our lives for the better by sharing your journey with your beautiful daughter. We were devastated when our daughter was diagnosed with epilepsy. You both open up your lives to help others was the beacon of light we were desperately looking for. I could never express our appreciation in words how grateful we are to you and the work you are doing. Thank you! Thank you for being the voice for those who live with epilepsy.šŸ’œ

Great information!

Thank you for this continued information! We need all the information about epilepsy. Not enough information out there and surprisingly...even in the medical field!

A Much Needed Podcast

I love the informative and honest information in Seizing Life. As a parent to a child who has seizures, this is the first resource that makes me feel like we're not alone in this journey.
