Faces of Epilepsy

“Eventually, I could recognize it happening. Then I could say, wherever I was, ‘Something is happening to me. Please grab me. Please hold me. I’m about to have a seizure."

Danny Glover, American Actor and UNICEF ambassador [1]

"It is controlled and it doesn't set me back at all with my football. I continue to play week in, week out and that is what I will continue to do until I retire."

Leon Legge, Soccer player for Port Vale F.C. in England [2]

"I've never spoken about this before, but I was born epileptic and I used to have seizures when I was young, and my mother and father didn't know what to do or how to handle it, but they did the best they could with what little they had."
