THIS IS THE TIME TO RAISE AWARENESS AND MONEY TO SUPPORT THE EPILEPSY COMMUNITY. JOINING US NOW WITH MORE AND WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GETTING INVOLVED IS EMMY AGA. EMMY. GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. ACCORDING TO THE EPILEPSY FOUNDATION, MORE THAN 41,000 PEOPLE IN OKLAHOMA LIVING WITH EPILEPSY. I’M JUST REALLY EXCITED FOR THE EPILEPSY WALK. IT’S IN NORMAN AT RUBY GRANT, AND I WANT TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE AS I CAN. THERE. I WAS THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR TSU IN DC AND I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF WE COULD GET MEDIA. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME, WEAR PURPLE. I’M GOING TO BE WEARING MY PURPLE AND I’M SUPER EXCITED. YEAH. SO I KNOW OKLAHOMANS LOVE TO SHOW UP FOR EVENTS LIKE THIS AND RAISING AWARENESS. LET’S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE EPILEPSY FOUNDATION. YOU MENTIONED. THEY’RE MORE THAN 41,000 PEOPLE IN OKLAHOMA ARE LIVING WITH EPILEPSY. TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE WORK THAT THE FOUNDATION DOES TO RAISE AWARENESS. YEAH. SO THE FOUNDATION RAISES AWARENESS MONEY WE GIVE TO PEOPLE IN NEED. AND WE’RE THE VOICES LIKE, I’M ONE OF THE VOICES FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE. AND WE DO AS MUCH AS WE CAN TO HELP PEOPLE LIVING WITH EPILEPSY. WHY IS THIS A CAUSE THAT’S SO IMPORTANT TO YOU? WELL, ME PERSONALLY, I SUFFER WITH JUVENILE MYOCLONIC EPILEPSY. I WAS DIAGNOSED WHEN I WAS 14, AND SO I’VE BEEN LIVING WITH IT FOR ABOUT TWO AND A HALF YEARS NOW. AND SO IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE A VOICE AND HAVE A PERSON THEY CAN LOOK UP TO AND TRUST WHEN THEY WANT THEIR VOICE TO BE HEARD. SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT HEADING OUT TO EVENTS LIKE THIS, LIKE THE WALK HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND, A LOT OF THIS MONEY RAISED, ALL OF IT ACTUALLY GOES BACK TO THE FOUNDATION. RIGHT. AND AND THEN HOW DOES THAT GO BACK TO THE COMMUNITY? HOW DOES IT BENEFIT THE EPILEPSY COMMUNITY? RIGHT. WELL, THE FOUNDATION ACTUALLY HELPS US PERSONALLY. THE FOUNDATION GIVES US TO FAMILIES IN NEED. IT GIVES IT TO PEOPLE STRUGGLING, AND IT BENEFITS PEOPLE WITH EPILEPSY DIRECTLY. YEAH. HOW HOW HAVE THEY BEEN ABLE TO HELP YOU AND IMPACT YOUR LIFE? WELL, BEING IN A REPRESENTATIVE HAS ACTUALLY IMPACTED MY LIFE. THEY CHOSE ME. BEING ABLE TO SPEAK UP ABOUT SUCH AN IMPORTANT TOPIC THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IS SUCH A CRUCIAL THING, BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE ME IN SCHOOL, THEY WERE AFRAID TO TALK ABOUT IT, AND SO THEM PUTTING THAT TRUST IN ME, MAKING ME THE REPRESENTATIVE, I THINK WAS MY MAIN MOTIVE FOR BECOMING A REPRESENTATIVE. YEAH. THAT’S AMAZING. BEING VOCAL AND JUST BEING OUT AND OPEN WITH THE COMMUNITY. SO I LOVE THAT. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE WALK THAT IS HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND IN NORMAN. GIVE US ALL THE DETAILS. WHERE WHAT TIME IS IT TOO LATE FOR PEOPLE TO REGISTER? NO, IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO REGISTER. IT IS SATURDAY. IT IS AT 9 A.M. 9 A.M. REGISTRATION OPENS AT 945. THE WALK STARTS. IT’S ABOUT A MILE WALK AT RUBY GRANT PARK IN NORMAN. REGISTRATION. IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO REGISTER. WE’D STILL LOVE IF YOU REGISTERED. I BELIEVE REGISTRATION CLOSES FRIDAY NIGHT AND I THINK YOU CAN STILL DO LIKE WALK IN REGISTRATIONS, IF THAT’S CORRECT. I’M NOT SURE, BUT YEAH, I’M MORE THAN HAPPY TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE AS I CAN THERE. YEAH, AND WE WILL MAKE SURE TO PUT THAT INFORMATION UP ON OUR WEBSITE TOO. ALL THE REGISTRATION INFORMATION. AND THEN FINALLY, BEFORE WE GO, IF PEOPLE CAN’T MAKE IT OUT THIS WEEKEND, WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OTHER WAYS THAT THEY CAN GET INVOLVED, RAISE AWARENESS AND SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY? RIGHT. I THINK, WELL, SOMETHING I DO IS I LIKE TO POST ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW SOCIAL MEDIA IS A HUGE IMPACT WHEN IT COMES TO THAT, BUT ALSO SHOWING UP TO WE HAVE OTHER EVENTS BESIDES THE WALK. I BELIEVE WE HAVE AN EVENT COMING UP IN OKLAHOMA CITY IN A FEW MONTHS FROM NOW. THAT IS THE OR SORRY, NEXT YEAR WE’RE HAVING THE NATIONAL EPILEPSY WALK, WHICH I WENT TO PERSONALLY. I ATTENDED PERSONALLY AND THAT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. ANYONE CAN COME TO IT. IT’S FREE. I BELIEVE THAT WAS IN DC, SO THAT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. BUT ALSO JUST MAINLY RAISING AWARENESS, CHECKING IN ON OTHERS THAT HAVE EPILEPSY BECAUSE IT IS 1 IN 26. SO VERY COMMON. A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THEIR LIFETIME, LIKE THEY’LL KNOW SOMEONE WITH EPILEPSY. AND SO REACHING OUT, RAISING AWARENESS IS THE BIGGEST THING FOR ME. REALLY GOOD MESSAGE THERE. AND AGAIN WE’LL POST ALL THE INFORMATION UP ON OUR WEBSITE. LET’S GET EVERYONE OUT TO THE WALK FOR EPILEPSY HAPPENING IN NORMAN. I MEAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING IN. WE R
