# Help Lisa Save Lives in Memory of Her Son, Judah
# Fighting Epilepsy Through Education, Awareness, Advocacy, and Love
Hi, my name is Lisa Griggs, and I’m a mother on a mission to save lives, one family at a time.
In 2024, I lost my beautiful son, Judah Bennett, to an epileptic seizure. He was only 18 years old... a gifted drummer, full of laughter, rhythm, talent, and heart.
Judah lived with epilepsy for four years and faced every challenge with incredible courage. Even after overcoming a dangerous lung abscess, he continued to shine, sharing his music, joy, and light with everyone around him.
No parent should ever have to bury their child. But through the deepest pain of losing Judah, I found a new purpose...helping other families avoid the tragedy we experienced.
# Turning Grief Into Advocacy
To honor Judah’s life and legacy, I founded Judah’s Legacy and Faces of Epilepsy,
a movement dedicated to epilepsy education, awareness, advocacy, and seizure safety.
Faces of Epilepsy is a growing global epilepsy community focused on education, support, advocacy, and ending the stigma surrounding seizures and epilepsy.
Our mission is simple but urgent:
* To educate families, schools, and communities about epilepsy
* To advocate for seizure-safe schools and stronger protections for students
* To support families living with epilepsy
* To spread awareness and save lives through education
* To end the fear, stigma, and misinformation surrounding seizures
Together, through Judah’s Legacy and Faces of Epilepsy, we are:
* Raising awareness about epilepsy and seizure safety
* Advocating for seizure-safe legislation and school protections
* Educating families and communities about seizure response and support
* Sharing stories of hope, resilience, and survival
* Building a compassionate support network for those impacted by epilepsy
* Creating conversations that inspire change and save lives
## The FEED Podcast: A Lifeline for Families
A vital part of this mission is the FEED Podcast, a platform dedicated to epilepsy education, advocacy, awareness, and honest conversations that help families feel seen, informed, and supported.
The podcast serves as a lifeline for many in the epilepsy community by:
* Providing education and resources
* Sharing real stories from families and advocates
* Raising awareness about seizure safety
* Encouraging open conversations to end stigma

Through storytelling, education, and advocacy, the FEED Podcast is helping save lives and create lasting change.
