Do You Know a Winning
Child With Epilepsy?
The Epilepsy Foundation of Idaho is searching for a child to
represent the state, and Idaho’s 6000 children with epilepsy, as the
Foundation’s “Winning Kid”. The Foundation honors all children
with epilepsy, those who have learned to live with their epilepsy,
and those who have overcome difficulties or succeeded in a special
activity. Smaller victories by more seriously affected children are
equally important.
Any child with epilepsy between the ages of 4 and 9 (who will
not reach his or her 10th birthday before January 1, 2008) is
eligible to enter. The winner will represent the Foundation by
attending various regional activities throughout the year, August
2007 to July 2008.
Entries should include a recent photograph of the child and a
statement from a parent or guardian detailing why the child would
be a good “Winning Kid”, the nature of his or her seizure disorder,
and how the child has lived with epilepsy. Please mail entries to
the Epilepsy Foundation of Idaho, 310 West Idaho, Boise, ID
83702. For more information, call in the Treasure Valley 344-4340
and outside this area 1-800-237-6676. Entries must be
postmarked by June 15, 2007.
