For over 50 years, the Epilepsy Foundation New England has been a pillar of support for individuals with epilepsy and seizures, offering resources and opportunities for engagement. One family, the Lanes, has found solace in the foundation’s support after their son, Mark, was diagnosed with a rare form of epilepsy at a young age. Despite the challenges of the winter months, the foundation continues to innovate, hosting events like EpilepSki at Sugarbush Resort to make winter sports accessible to all, regardless of ability.
Josh Drew, the director of development at EFNE, emphasized the importance of keeping active and healthy during the winter, especially for those with epilepsy. Aprill Lane shared that sports have been instrumental in her son’s development, teaching him valuable life skills while keeping him engaged and active.
The Epilepsy Foundation New England’s commitment to providing support and opportunities for families affected by epilepsy shines through its efforts to ensure accessibility to physical activity and community engagement year-round. Through events like EpilepSki, the foundation continues to be a beacon of hope and support for individuals and families facing epilepsy. As winter progresses, EFNE remains dedicated to helping families maintain an active lifestyle and fostering a sense of community among those impacted by epilepsy.
