About My Epilepsy Story

Brandy Parker-McFadden
Founder

Founder, Wife, Mother and Woman with Epilepsy

My goal is to help other women and girls living with epilepsy and the doctors that selflessly care for them.

I have had epilepsy for over 20 years. I have generalized tonic-clonic seizures. While I am in the group of people with epilepsy that is controlled, I realize the importance of epilepsy research. Epilepsy research falls further behind other neurological diseases. My hope is for better education, treatment options and a cure for epilepsy.
