I walk for my granddaughter, Quinn
Quinn was diagnosed with Infantile Spasms at an early age which later developed into Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome. She is 8 years old and has had an amazing year! After many years of medication experiments, they finally have a combination that is helping. Seizures are the most controlled that they have ever been. She has exploded developmentally. Her communication is coming.
Quinn is our hero!💜💜

Our friend and nephew, Scott
Scott had his first seizure 20 minutes after he was born. He also has cerebral palsy. As a child, Scott was diagnosed with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome. When Scott was 12, he was on the ketogenic diet which helped with many of his seizures. Scott still takes medications daily to help control his seizures.
Today, Scott is 38 and living his best life! He enjoys working at a gluten free bakery, listening to music, boating, entertaining his 3 nephews and spending time with family.
