Did You Ever See Or Hear A Commercial That Reminded You Of A Part Of Your Life With Epilepsy?

I was watching Laugh-In rerun when a commercial for the March of Dimes came on. It made me remember when I was a kid. My parents couldn't afford my appointments, tests, etc. so they got help from Illinois Crippled Children (ICC). ICC got most of their funding from March of Dimes. Now I wanna make a donation to March of Dimes.

No, never and that is a disservice to diseases/conditions that receive as much attention as others. I also believe that we a such a small population that people don't realize epilepsy is even a thing.

Every time I watch a cop show where some gets shot for not responding to the police, and is later found out they had a problem in the brain. It scares me . I'm one of those it could happen to. The police are not trained what to look for. I rarely go out alone and I wish I could afford a service dogs. Sheryl

If You want to make a donation to the March of Dimes then go onto Your Facebook and send a message to friends asking them for a donation. I have done that a number of times for the Epilepsy Foundation.
