Attention friends of Epilepsy Alliance of Utah
Medical research is vital in our efforts to find new and better treatment for the sufferers of epilepsy related consequences. As most of you know these can be damaging to families and the ability to live a normal life. So while Congress debates where money should be spent we need you to raise your voice and demand that one area of the budget that cannot stand the cuts is medical research. If you would contact your representatives in the Congress and Senate before or on the 18th of September and inform them of the importance epilepsy plays in your life and how medical research into the cause and treatment are vital to your well being we would ever so much appreciate it! After all we have gotten this far as a group so we need to unite to get event farther!
Rally for Medical Research Hill Day
September 18, 2013
Federal funding for medical research is in jeopardy, threatening the health of Americans. On September 18, 2013, a broad coalition of groups from the medical research advocacy community will meet with House and Senate offices in Washington, D.C., to urge Congress to invest in the National Institutes of Health for the health and economic security of our nation.Sponsoring organizations will join the Rally for Medical Research Hill Day to raise awareness during a critical time about the urgent need for a sustained investment in the NIH to improve health, spur more progress, inspire more hope and save more lives.
The Epilepsy Foundation is joining in the "Rally for Medical Research" Hill Day on September 18th. We encourage you to join us on September 18th by contacting your Senators and Representative. Please join the Epilepsy Foundation in calling for increased medical research funding by tweeting your Representatives using the hashtag #RallyMedRes, or reaching out to them on Facebook on September 18th.
