CBS 2 Creative Eye: Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago Interview
Kelly. ¨Camp Blackhawk.¨ 2019 |
Hi, my name is Cora. I have Epilepsy. I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was four years old. Ever since birth, I always had trouble with sleep because of my epilepsy. I also have anxiety that gets in the way of me doing everyday things. For example, when I was little, I would freak out if I saw swings. It got so extreme that my mom and dad had to avoid parks for a very long time. My epilepsy has also helped me meet new people. I now go to camp Blackhawk each year where I meet other kids that have epilepsy, in this camp, we zipline and go to the pool. I have met new friends and have found my voice. Even though epilepsy has changed my life with me having anxiety and not being able to sleep, it has allowed me to find myself, epilepsy and all. I am now one of the Epilepsy Foundation of Chicago Teen Advocates.
¨Here’s the CBS Chicago interview with Bryan Anderson, the President & CEO of the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago, and Cora talking about the importance of epilepsy advocacy, raising epilepsy awareness, and the fun of Camp Blackhawk!¨
