By Julie Hutchison | President, Co-Founder and Chelsea's Mother
We are excited to tell you about the progress we have made. The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation is receiving 10-15 requests a week for help and we have been able to keep up with those requests. It is a wonderful feeling to be able to bring a little peace to those who are so stressed, waiting for the next seizure to occur. Through you, and the kindness of those who support our mission, we are excited to let you know that we have now had the privilege of providing over 480 (what we believe to be) life-saving movement monitors across the United States. Enjoy the beautiful faces of some of our most recent recipients.
"Our monitor has already caught two seizures while we were asleep. I can never thank you enough!" Allison S.
In just a few short days, through Chelsea's Wish, we will be hosting 14 families from across the US at Epilepsy Awareness Expo and Day at Disneyland. These trips are life-changing for our families.
We made the news and wanted to share. Here is our story as told by CBS Denver, Foundation Pairs Girl, Goldendoodle Together To Help Manage Epilepsy. In addition, here is an article written by The Denver Post, How the Chelsea Hutchison Foundation is saving lives through dogs and monitors.
STOMP Out Epilepsy and SUDEP Awareness walks took place across the United States last month. It was a huge success for the Foundation as we stomped in Colorado, California, Nebraska, Illinois, Louisiana and West Virginia. We host Chelsea's Bingo twice a week in Aurora, Colorado to help fund our projects. It is a big commitment, but we will do what we need to to be able to grant comfort and hope those those who suffer from epilepsy.
Thank you for believing in us!
