[News] New Axelrod Interview About Epilepsy — Mon & Tues — Fox News’ American Newsroom

[PhylisFeinerJohnson]

“They told us at that time, don’t worry, these seizures won’t damage your child … And of course, we sadly, we learned after the fact, that it wasn’t the case, and that these seizures were doing tremendous damage to her.“

At that time, David and Susan Axelrod had become the parents of Lauren, who began suffering seizures when she was 7 months old. She is now 27.

Together, they founded CURE—Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy. The group’s mission is clear from the acronym: to learn everything we can about epilepsy in search of a cure.

They have been featured on the cover of Parade Magazine, interviewed by Katie Couric on “60 minutes” and have raised millions of dollars for research.

But more than that, they have used their publicity to help bring education and awareness to the American public.

Don’t miss their interview Monday and Tuesday on Fox News’ “American Newsroom.” It’s a story straight from the heart. One of sacrifices and revelations…
