Morgan Staker is 1 in 26. Diagnosed with epilepsy at age 12, she faced years of uncontrolled seizures that disrupted her education and daily life. Through the support, resources, and community she found with the Epilepsy Foundation, Morgan learned to navigate her diagnosis with confidence, and with the help of improved treatment options, she’s now thriving in horticultural school.

 

Her journey came full circle when a classmate had a seizure in class. “I was the only one who knew seizure first aid,” Morgan shared. “Without this information I would not have had any idea what to do. Your information might have just saved a life today.”

 

GIVE26 ensures more people like Morgan have access to lifesaving education, connection, and hope. Your gift to GIVE26 strengthens our community and propels us towards our mission to ensure that no one faces epilepsy alone.
