Stop Bev Perdue From Cutting Epilepsy Services Funding!!

Beverly Perdue & Linda Garrou are cutting the funding for the NC Neurologic Epilepsy Program. The cuts include the Epilepsy Information Service, The Epilepsy Medication Fund, and some funding to 4 Health Departments. Without these services at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center a great number of people with Epilepsy in North Carolina will have nowhere to go for support or information.

I know that a lot of people signing this may not know me personally, but I need your help. I am a 27 year old stay at home mom of a two year old and one year old. I am just one of the cases that will be affected greatly by the budget cut. I was diagnosed in 2007 with Epilepsy. I can't tell you the worry I feel every day that today might be the day that I have a seizure. Without the help of the NC Neurologic Epilepsy Program, I don't know where I would be. They saved my life and many others. To them, my family and I are extremely grateful.

Please help me and stand up for the 200,000 mothers, fathers, children, sisters and brothers that are diagnosed each year. It takes just a moment to sign this and pass it on, but it is worth it to save a life!

Beverly Perdue & Linda Garrou are obviously uninformed of the severity of Epilepsy and our need for The NC Neurologic Epilepsy Program. Help us inform them!

Thank you for your help and support!
