NOVEMBER IS EPILEPSY AWARENESS MONTH!

Dear Community:

Nearly 3 million Americans have epilepsy. Epilepsy is the most common neurological disorder affecting all age groups, yet the public is largely unaware it is a serious condition with severe consequences for people living with epilepsy and their families. November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month, and I am one of thousands of volunteers working to raise awareness of this condition.

Epilepsy is common, but many people don’t know what to do when someone is having a seizure. That’s why the Akwesasne Epilepsy Support Group is asking everyone to learn about epilepsy by reading our weekly submissions on epilepsy awareness in November. National Epilepsy Awareness Month is worldwide & more information is available online at http://www.epilepsyfoundation.org

As someone affected by epilepsy, I strongly encourage everyone to get educated and participate in our upcoming meetings & fundraisers. Our next meeting will be held this Sunday, November 3, 2013 at 1pm at AK Cafe.

Sincerely

Akwesasne Epilepsy Support Group
