Alison Kukla and Preston Reilly share their Meet Cute, Zoom wedding, and when “family planning” doesn’t go as planned. These two should legit have their own Hallmark movie that rewrites the script for happy endings. Tune in to hear how this powerhouse couple is changing the narrative of managing epilepsy in marriage, careers, and support systems. https://loom.ly/7xyBz68 #EpilepsyAwareness #WhattheEFpodcast #EFTX

The American Epilepsy Society (AES) wants to hear from you! AES is conducting a Medication Access Survey to understand better the challenges people with epilepsy and their caregivers face, especially when it comes to accessing medications. Your input will help AES in efforts to improve care for individuals with epilepsy. The survey takes only about 5 minutes to complete, and all responses are anonymous. However, if you're open to being contacted in the future, you can provide your email at the end. If you're a person with epilepsy or a caregiver to someone with epilepsy, we invite you to participate or share this survey with others in the community. Survey Link: https://lnkd.in/g2-k2Wb3 The survey will be available until November 1, 2024. Thank you for helping AES improve access to care for those living with epilepsy!
