Saturday night was a special night for my side of the family. It was the Epilepsy Association of Utah’s Winter Gala. The keynote speaker Susan Axelrod is like a rockstar to my sister Becky and her husband Dave, since my nephew Thatcher was diagnosed with a form of epilepsy. Susan Axelrod has done so much to raise funds and awareness about epilepsy, and she is a light to the families who are dealing with it on a regular basis.
We were all so happy to be in attendance that night in support of our little Thatch-Man.
Here is the The Axelrod’s 60 minute interview with Katie Couric, telling their story about their daughter Lauren who has epilepsy.
I love Tee with the sign. That is awesome that you all went out to support little Thatcher. We all pray that they find a cure.
Susan Axelrod is amazing. Epilepsy is so difficult. Pray for a CURE!
I cried when I saw Dad had made a sign.
That is a great picture of Dad and his sign!
It was an amazing night, I'm still on a high from meeting her and feeling the love of my whole family! Thanks so much for coming! I will never forget that night!!!
what a great night for such a great cause. it's funny, i was thinking about becky this weekend and was going to facebook you and ask how thatcher was doing. hope they are well and give her my best.
I'm so sorry your family has had to deal with that.
that photo of your dad is priceless!
i love that you all get behind your family in everything.
