The status quo is that young children with LGS and pre-LGS are having their lives robbed from them, and adults with LGS are living with the burden of unrelenting seizures and side effects. Regardless of whether you are a caregiver of a young child with LGS or an adult battling LGS, the burden of navigating the LGS maze falls to caregivers and this burden is too great for them alone to bear. We challenge this status quo! We are harnessing the power of the patient family community to ensure that research, care, support services, education, and awareness of LGS are relevant for those living with LGS and their loved ones. We seek meaningful and impactful interventions that are designed to end the suffering caused by LGS. The hope is that we will lessen the burden of LGS on younger generations. If we are successful, the science we accelerate to find the cures for this catastrophic epilepsy disorder of early life will usher in cures for other circuits and aging disorders of the brain.
