The Zoom gallery were treated to a wonderful presentation on EPILEPSY hosted by Danielle Pethick who is supported by CLASS. Daniela, who has had Epilepsy since she was a year old read from her own prepared speech about the disorder and personal journey and experiences.

Daniela has overcome challenges in her life but with a strong family support system and strength has proved she is unstoppable graduating with an Honours certificate from Mohawk College in Communications. The presentation was very informative as we learned more about this neurological disorder.
