Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures, which are sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain. These seizures can vary widely in intensity and manifestation, affecting awareness, movement, or sensation for the duration of the episode.

Currently, there is no known cure for epilepsy. Epilepsy research is an important pathway to a safer future for those affected by this condition. Yet, epilepsy research does not receive the awareness and recognition it needs to effectively work towards developing new treatments and medicines, understanding neurological mechanisms, and ultimately providing a safe cure to relieve patients from this condition.

Our youth-led non profit organization aims to spread awareness, improve marketization, and raise funds for epilepsy research. We strive to grow recognition for this underrepresented and underfunded cause by using our medical knowledge and online marketing strategies. The Seize Hope Organization aims to "Seize Hope" for affected patients to improve treatments and medicines to produce a safer, better future.
