60 Minutes Feature on Epilepsy
October 30, 2009Send to a Friend
On October 25th, 60 Minutes featured a piece by Katie Couric called "Epilepsy: A Fight for the Cure." The piece and the accompanying article can be accessed at CBS News. Through interviews with the Axelrod family and others who live with seizures, along with thorough research on current treatments and statistics, the story offers a balanced, realistic look at epilepsy, and we are pleased to think of the number of viewers who are now better informed about the cause.
We are also happy to see epilepsy returning to the forefront of major news coverage after this summer's Newsweek Magazine cover story (available here). We hope such awareness and interest will continue, and translate into action. In the meantime, we will continue our work with contributions to the community such as educational events, funded research, and new public service announcements - we're all part of that fight for the cure.
