SHARE YOUR STORY

Help others navigate the pediatric epilepsy surgery journey

Stories are powerful ways to share our experiences, facts, and hard truths while also providing others with hope for the future. We seek diverse voices, experiences, and outcomes so that families anywhere on the pediatric epilepsy surgery journey can have a roadmap of what to expect.

With your permission, we'll use your child's story and photograph in various formats - and you'll always have the final say in what we publish. That's because we're committed to the highest standards of storytelling and have signed the Ethical Storytelling Pledge here.

Thank you for helping us get our message out!
