Share your epilepsy story

Strength in support. Power in connection.

Stories are how we support one another; they help us connect deeply, educate thoroughly, and advocate more effectively.

At the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota (EFMN), we know sharing your story can be a source of strength. It also helps support others on their journey with epilepsy and seizure disorders.

Whether you are a friend, family, co-worker, or on your own journey your story carries power. Tell us about your journey and how EFMN made a difference. You can help demonstrate how critical epilepsy awareness is to legislators, the media, and our communities across Minnesota.

Note: You will receive communication from EFMN before your story is shared on any platform.
