Imagine A Cure is part of our Livy's Hope For A Cure campaign and was created in honor of our daughter, Olivia Hope (Livy), and the 65 million other people living with epilepsy. There are over 375,000 people with epilepsy in Florida alone whose lives would be dramatically improved by finding a cure.

Livy was born with a brain malformation that resulted in epilepsy and numerous disabilities. The need for anti-epileptic medications has drastically diminished her ability to develop. She has endured two brain surgeries which have decreased her seizures but they still remain drug resistant. Through Livy’s short life, she has shown great strength and a desire to live which few seldom encounter. Her bright smile, gentle demeanor and incredible fortitude, along with her twin sister Hailey’s positive attitude and inspiration, keep our hope alive that someday, a cure for epilepsy will be discovered.

Thank you for your support!
