News & Notes

 
Mark your calendars and join DSF for our virtual Steps Towards a Cure event!

Be Seizure Ready for back to school! The Seizure Action Plan Coalition recently announced their 2021 Back to School initiatives.
In this Community Spotlight meet Dan Hartley and learn about his new multi-year fundraising and awareness event – Miles for McCall!
