Seventeen years ago, my world changed when my son Erick was diagnosed with epilepsy at just 18 years old. It has been a long and difficult road filled with uncertainties, hospital visits, and countless challenges. But through every struggle, Erick has stood tall. He has found his purpose—using his experience to support others who are facing the same journey.
This November, we are hosting special events to raise awareness, build community, and provide hope for those living with epilepsy. Erick and I invite you to be a part of these moments with us. Your presence, your support, and your voice make a difference in the lives of so many.
Please join us:
Glow Golf for Epilepsy on November 23, 6-8pm, at Madeline Gym in Hanahan.
These events aren’t just fundraisers—they’re about coming together to support and uplift each other. Whether you live with epilepsy, care for someone who does, or just want to stand in solidarity with our community, we need you with us. See posts below to purchase tickets.
Together, we can advocate, educate, and inspire.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Walk with Jesus Tour has been postponed. We are actively working to set a new date, and we’ll share the updated details as soon as possible.
If you purchased a ticket on or before November 5, 2024, please check your email for additional information, including ticket options.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to bring this event back for our community. Thank you for your continued support, and stay tuned for more updates soon!

Starting on July 1, 2025, South Carolina's Seizure Safe Schools law will take effect, marking a significant step forward in supporting students with epilepsy. This law mandates that all school personnel receive training in basic seizure recognition and first aid, ensuring that they are equipped to respond effectively in the event of a seizure. By empowering educators and staff with the knowledge and skills needed to assist students during a seizure, South Carolina is fostering a safer and more inclusive environment for all students.
To see wording of the bill that was signed into law, visit: https://www.scstatehouse.gov/sess125_2023-2024/bills/3309.htm
See online training options below. If assistance in needed in developing your school district's training, please email Karen@scepilepy.org.
