The Epilepsy Warriors Foundation has formed a community support group in Fort Myers and hopes to do others in the future in the surrounding areas of Southwest Florida for parents, adults, teens, and children living with Epilepsy as well as their caregivers. We are planning to form groups in Chicago and Texas as well as other communities as a long term goal and also in the UK to further ensure that there is support for parents globally as it is so greatly needed thanks to our being able to utilize social media.

The Epilepsy Warriors Foundation feels it is important to reach out to as many people and companies as possible to help raise awareness for a devastating disease one that has claimed so many of our children and young people. We hope that you will join us in our efforts to improve the quality of life for those afflicted with and by this complicated disorder.  NO family should have to bury a child.
