NPR: Living with the Uncertainty of Epilepsy »

Despite those numbers, epilepsy lags behind other diseases in funding for research and treatment.
Guests:
Warren Lammert, co-founder and chairman of the Epilepsy Therapy Project

John’s Hope Story: Epilepsy
“What I got was a new lease on life with the surgery. I’m a normal, functioning human being. I have a very good job and one that is important to an organization. I have two beautiful kids, a wonderful wife, and a great dog. I’m active in my church and my community. How do you top that? It doesn’t get any better than that. Life is GOOD.”
