Have you heard about genetic testing? Have you or your loved one had genetic testing done before? In partnership with GeneDx, we’re inviting the epilepsy community to take this short survey and share when and how you learned about genetic testing, and whether you’ve had genetic testing done before. Your input will help us understand the community’s awareness and experiences so we can better support those who are seeking access to genetic testing. Every response helps shape future resources: bit.ly/42cmZxN

I’m Jazminn from Pico Rivera, CA. I’m 33 and was diagnosed with epilepsy at 21, shortly after giving birth to my daughter. I experienced tonic-clonic seizures. It was completely life-changing, but epilepsy has taught me resilience, patience, and to appreciate living in the moment. I don’t let epilepsy define who I am, my worth, or limit what I can do. I’m a proud wife and mother of three, and I choose to celebrate what I can with my family, living each day with faith, strength, courage, and hope. I am 1 in 26! 💜
