Epilepsy awareness hits close to home

One local family is trying to raise awareness of a disease that affects around 300,000 Canadians and their five-year-old son each year. Epilepsy is a disease that causes excessive electrical impulses in the brain, resulting in seizures. It doesn’t discriminate by age, race or sex and as they’ve discovered, it can change the lives of the sufferers and their families forever. Meagan Williams had the opportunity to meet them and find out more about this heartbreaking disease.
