ABBY'S DIRECT ADDRESS
Did you know our brain has been compared to the Milky Way. We have as many neurons as our solar system has stars. As of today, science estimates we have 86 billion neurons, with 7000 dendrites for each neuron which then makes over a 100 trillion connections...CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?!
I like drawing the parallel of my brain with a multitude of stars. It is vast, this noggin of mine, with a gazillion probabilities waiting to be revealed, WAITING TO HAPPEN. Because that's a lot of possibilities of what might be discovered about a cure for epilepsy. And that gives me hope. I believe that because I have witnessed an improbability become probable.
Don't miss out on this inspiring and educational event!
Be part of a movement to break down stigma, promote understanding, and celebrate the strength of those living with epilepsy. Reserve your spot today to be moved, informed, and inspired.
