OUR PROMISE
OUR PROMISE
“Few people are actually willing to step up and talk about epilepsy. My mission is to spread awareness and be an advocate for those who do not have a voice or are afraid to speak out.
I want those living with epilepsy to have a voice, to find the courage within themselves and become an advocate supporting me and each other in raising awareness.”
– Kasam Parkar (Founder of The Voice For Epilepsy association)
