I apologize for any inconvenience, but I am resending this update with corrected links to our other microprojects. The links in the previous update had broken links
Thank you for donating to this project. Suzanne and The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation are still working hard to raise funds and make this happen. Suzanne has switched trainers and Cayenne is in training for her and the two should be working as a team sometime mid 2016. This will bring some much needed indepedence to her. Sue is an active 54-year-old disabled woman who is a part time reflexologist/nail technologist and professional actor/singer. She also has seizures, strokes and a connective disorder which leaves her using a walker, cane or wheelchair, depending on how well she is doing on any particular day. Cayenne will give her the assurance that she needs when she is along and will give her husband peace of mind that someone will be there for her.
While this campaign has closed, here are a few similar projects that may interest you.

The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation grants comfort and hope to those affected by epilepsy through providing monitoring resources, vital information, and a safe haven for conversation and community. Our main goal is to raise awareness of SUDEP and to make a positive difference in the lives of individuals and families living with epilepsy.
We raise funds to provide education about SUDEP and to provide seizure response dog grants and movement monitors that help to protect against SUDEP. SUDEP is an acronym for Sudden Unexpected (Unexplained) Death in Epilepsy.
We stay up-to-date on current trends in medical technology in order to be able to provide the most effective devices as they become available. We respect the value and quality of life of every person living with epilepsy.
We are dedicated to providing opportunities that allow individuals and families greater independence, increased confidence, ability to enjoy social environments, and community understanding.
Thank you again for your support!
