Hi everyone! My name is Nehashree Bheemu, and I’m raising money for a cause that means a lot to me. In the United States alone, approximately 3 million people are diagnosed with epilepsy. Among this, 456K to 470K are teenagers. So, let's walk together to make some impact in their lives!

My name is Brooke and I am raising money for the Epilepsy Foundation of New England. This organization has a very special place in my heart and has been life changing these past six years.

I’ve had epilepsy since I was a toddler, thinking for over 2 decades that there was nobody on this planet who understood myself or what I deal with on a daily basis, I was able to meet some of the most incredible humans facing the same thing. We fight every day, physically, mentally and emotionally. Every share, or donation means the world.
