Our mission is to find a cure for epilepsy, by promoting and funding patient-focused research. For the 65 million people worldwide with epilepsy, progress is unacceptably slow. Children with uncontrollable seizures frequently face a lifetime of challenges including misunderstandings about epilepsy, discrimination, and other epilepsy-related problems. Mortality rates among people with epilepsy are three times the rate of the general population, and sudden death rates are more than twenty times higher. Scientific research is our greatest hope for discovering the cures for epilepsy. In our impact reports, explore how CURE Epilepsy and our wonderful community have made strides in epilepsy research to drive science forward.
