Epilepsy Sucks
Three surgeries. A lifetime with epilepsy. One marathon to fight back.
On March 7, 2027, I’m running the ASICS LA Marathon to raise funds for CURE Epilepsy.
CURE Epilepsy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit — gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Four ways into the story
Epilepsy took enough of my life — three brain surgeries, years of recovery, and seizures I still live with today. On March 7, 2027, I’m running the LA Marathon for CURE Epilepsy, raising awareness and funding research for a future without epilepsy, because the chains don’t get the last word.
From a misshapen brain to the operating table
Cerebral hemiatrophy at age 8, the seizure that changed everything, and the surgical era that followed — resection, VNS, and DBS — plus interactive seizure & neuron simulations.
