Welcome to the website of the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Cincinnati!
Click for the Mason Half Marathon Event !
Please join the Epilepsy Foundation and the family and friends of Taylor Huth as they host the 3rd annual Benjamin “Taylor” Huth Memorial Golf Tournament on Saturday, September 18, 2010.
Taylor started having seizures while in high school and unfortunately died in his early twenties. His family and friends have kept Taylor’s zeal for life alive as they take part annually in our Emerald Miles Run/Walk and host this golf tournament. The proceeds of the tournament benefit students at Taylor’s High School and now his family will be generously offering college scholarships to youth with epilepsy from proceeds of the golf outing. We are very excited to partner with Taylor’s family and friends to host this tournament.
Please either download the flyer or click on the link to register online.
This event is just one more example of how working together, we are making a difference in the lives of people with epilepsy.

Through this project, the Project Access team at the USC University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, Childrens Hospital Los Angeles has developed a very informative and valuable epilepsy parent guide. A free downloadable version of this guide can be found on their website here. We thank them for sharing this resourceful information!
