CURE Epilepsy Champion Isabella recently ran the Florida Half Marathon to honor a very special little girl — her daughter, Elin. While pregnant with Elin, Isabella got the devastating news that her little girl was already in for the fight of her life. Doctors discovered multiple rare brain malformations, and at just 14 days old, little Elin was diagnosed with epilepsy.

Isabella started her advocacy journey that day. Today, Elin is two and Isabella hasn’t stopped fighting to create a better world for her. She ran the Florida Half Marathon in Melbourne, FL, to celebrate the strength and resilience of her little one while helping to fuel research in search of a cure.

The best seizure action plan is one that fits your real life.

Work, school, dating, travel. Your plan should reflect where you go and who is around you, especially because during a seizure, you may not be able to explain what you need. A plan makes sure the right steps are already in place.

Rescue medications can stop or shorten certain seizures, but only if others know when and how to use them. A seizure action plan spells this out clearly, so that teachers and colleagues can act quickly and confidently in an emergency.

Is your seizure action plan up-to-date? Seizure Action Plan Awareness Week is a great time to check! And if you don't have a plan, consider this your sign to consider making one.

A seizure action plan is a written, personalized guide that explains what others should do before, during, and after a seizure. During a seizure, a person may not be able to speak or communicate. The plan removes guesswork and helps family members, friends, coworkers, teachers, and caregivers respond calmly and correctly.

➡️ Our friends at seizureactionplans.org have plans you can download and make your own. Learn more about seizure action plans here: https://bit.ly/4bzsSKY

Earlier this week, Congress passed and the President signed a spending package that included some critical funding for epilepsy research. The small bump to the NINDS budget (after proposed 40% cuts) and the restoration of a $12M appropriation for the CDMRP’s Epilepsy Research Program are cause for celebration and a true testament to the tireless advocacy of our broader community.

Though the recent news on funding is a welcome bright spot in what has been a grim federal scientific landscape, there remain many operational and ideological barriers to sustaining the research progress we so desperately need. CURE Epilepsy remains committed to collaboration and adaptability in this changing ecosystem as we strive to accelerate the path toward cures.
