Patient Community Stories

The patient community knows first-hand what it means to go on a “diagnostic journey,” coordinate care teams, manage numerous medications, make multiple trips to the emergency room, seek hope in clinical studies and navigate the world while also living with or caring for someone with a pediatric central nervous system disorder.

Meet some of the extraordinary people from the patient community.

Finn

Finn’s Story

Lauren, a school teacher, mother of four and a self-described “beach junky,” shares a day in the life of her youngest son, Finn, who lives with Dravet syndrome.

Jett

Jett’s Story

For this family of four, receiving news that their son, Jett, had Dravet syndrome was devastating. Adjusting to their family’s lifestyle has not been an easy ride.

Malcolm

Malcolm’s Story

Mikell and Nick describe how their lives have completely changed over the last three years since their youngest son, Malcolm, was diagnosed with Dravet syndrome.

We thank these families for their willingness to share their stories.

By doing so they not only help build awareness around these disorders through their lived experiences, but also forge connectivity and community with others who are going through similar journeys.
