Our MISSION

My Epilepsy Story is a national, non-profit organization that serves to bridge the gap for women and girls diagnosed with epilepsy, as well as the children impacted by their mother’s epilepsy by Advocating, Researching, and Educating others about epilepsy. My Epilepsy Story serves these females, their families, and the medical professionals that selflessly care for them.

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.
