Help for Today, Hope for Tomorrow

Epilepsy Foundation New England's #lighthewaytoday raises awareness of epilepsy and shines a light on the difficult reality
that epilepsy can be fatal. 

Each year, more than 1 in 1,000 adults and 1 in 4,500 children with epilepsy die from Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP); the risk increases to 1 in 150 for people whose seizures are poorly controlled.

We are committed to:

• Increasing awareness of SUDEP and the risk of death in epilepsy

• Providing education on how to reduce the risk of SUDEP

• Fundraising to support research to save lives

• Honoring the lives of our loved ones who have passed away

• Supporting families who have lost a loved one to SUDEP

Together we can make a difference to shed light on epilepsy and sudep, remember those we have lost, and make a brighter tomorrow.
