Thankful Thursday: A Family’s Journey with Epilepsy and Finding Support
This Thankful Thursday, we’re grateful for the strength of families and the power of community. After a life-changing moment led to Nick’s epilepsy diagnosis, his family found support, resources, and connection through Empowering Epilepsy. Today, they continue their journey together—giving back and helping others along the way.

Thankful Thursday - Mike's Story
Diagnosed with epilepsy at age 5, I spent years navigating it largely on my own. In 2022, I discovered Empowering Epilepsy and the kind of support I wish had existed when I had brain surgery in 2011. Through support groups, education, and community events, they connect people living with epilepsy in powerful ways. Each year I organize a team for the Gunselman’s Tavern Leprechaun Chase to help support their mission and bring more awareness to epilepsy.

Thankful Thursday - David's Story
Epilepsy awareness is personal for Gunselman’s Restaurant Group co owner David Grace. After his son’s diagnosis, their family faced uncertainty but found hope through Empowering Epilepsy. They discovered they were not alone, that life continues with purpose, and that specialized care makes a difference. With guidance and support, they learned to manage epilepsy and move forward with confidence.
