Noah is the 24 yr old son of Marty Smith and her partner in life and bocce, Paul Sauline. He is a Junior (ish) at YSU majoring in Special Education. He has been living with epilepsy since he was 7 yrs old. In that time, Noah has been on many medications, has had three brain surgeries, and has an implanted medical device. All in attempts to arrest seizure activity. Unfortunately, the seizures persist but so does Noah, a true epilepsy warrior.

In 2019, Noah acquired “Seven” a Double Doodle puppy who has been in training to be a Seizure Alert Dog. They are constant companions. Seven will help Noah to “live his best life”. He also gives those who love him peace of mind.
