Empowering Epilepsy
Leigh's Circle of Friends

Leigh’s Circle of Friends is a community built on one simple belief: No one should have to face an epilepsy diagnosis alone. Many of the people who join our Circle do so because they remember how overwhelming living with uncontrolled seizures can feel — the questions, the uncertainty, and the need for someone who truly understands.
 

Being part of the Circle means helping ensure that every person with epilepsy and their loved ones have access to the same time, guidance, and compassion Leigh Goldie, Empowering Epilepsy's Founder and Executive Director, once wished she’d had herself.

For some, “paying it forward” means giving monthly support — starting at $25 — that allows Empowering Epilepsy to be there consistently for those just beginning their journey. For others, it’s simply a way to say thank you for the support they received, or to honor someone who stood by them. However you choose to be part of Leigh’s Circle of Friends, your generosity helps create a steady, caring presence for the next person who needs to hear: You are not alone!

“I joined Leigh’s Circle of Friends because I remember how scary those early days were.

I wanted someone else to feel less alone, just like I did.”
