Epilepsy Foundation America's media relations team has worked for weeks to help USAToday with two stories that are featured in today’s paper. The first, which made the both front page of USAToday and USAToday.com, involves a teenager who underwent brain surgery to control his seizures. We arranged for Dr. Brien Smith, a member of the Epilepsy Foundation’s professional advisory board, and members of our e-communities to talk with USAToday reporter Anita Manning for the story, “Teen takes risk on a cure.” For the complete story, go to: http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2006-11-26-teen-brain-surgery_x.htm
Also, we coordinated the story, “Seizures take driver’s seat,” which details the issues surrounding driving and epilepsy. The reporter, the mother of a 9-year-old with controlled seizures, contacted the Foundation after viewing a story involving a man who experienced a seizure while driving. Sandy Finucane, vice president of legal and government affairs; Elizabeth Wood, board of directors volunteer member at the Epilepsy Foundation North and Central Alabama; and Dr. Brien Smith were interviewed for this story.
