Jennie Stormes is this issue’s shining epilepsy star for all she does to advance awareness and knowledge about Dravet's Syndrome (an epilepsy syndrome) and epilepsy in general.  Her fight against epilepsy is very personal; she was "recruited" when her son was diagnosed with Dravet's Syndrome.  She is tireless and always willing to speak to others about her experience with epilepsy and seizures.  She is a driven epilepsy advocate who fundraises, walks for epilepsy, educates others through her website, tweets, and other social media. She works with many of the epilepsy foundations and is now working with Dr. Eric Segal putting together a series of webinars for parents of children with epilepsy that will take place in the second half of 2013. Seen in this picture Jennie, Jax, Sidnee, and Kipper
