The motivation for this project was based on my own personal experiences with Elipepsy. I do not suffer from this illness myself and without divulging too much personal information, I have a loved one who does and it has been an uphill battle at times. The terrifying nature of a real crisis can be everlasting for all witnesses, especially if they are young. The goal is to make a preventable disorder completely obsolete. I have seen enough periods of suffering, and starting with a cause that is close to my heart provides the necessary motivation to fight! A little insight brings new awareness to children affected by this disorder. Some cases have even been made famous thanks to videos on social networks; some children in fact suffer more than a dozen seizures per day, but cannot receive help because their remedies are still prohibited. Derivatives of most natural remedies are prohibited to increase trade between pharmaceutical branches. Big changes need to happen at the federal level, and then health care (and even education) systems can improve, but that's a project for another time. Say no to plagiarism.

Get the original essay The Walk to End Epilepsy is also a program that helps anyone walk and promotes health among a willing audience. Epileptics also face discrimination, in terms of employment and relationships. People are stigmatized by such a confusing and extremely random disorder. The nature of seizures may be stress-induced, but stressors are natural and seizures (without medication) are inevitable. It is essential to know the remedies and not be skeptical of real solutions (which may have been looked down upon in the past). CBD and cannabanoid oils have been shown to be incredibly powerful in combating seizure triggers. Reasonably priced financing and drug derivatives are essential to finding possible cures. The key is to work together to find a mass-produced, cost-effective cure, and a movement begins with attention to this disorder. Again, epilepsy is not as important as other autism spectrum disorders, but 1 in 3 children have symptoms of epilepsy and in some children it proves fatal. My own experiences and knowledge in epilepsy awareness have given real heart to the work and words I have written throughout...I want it to be known that far beyond submission of this project, I will always do what I can to play a role in stopping epilepsy.
