We are proud to state that The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation (CHF) has recently paid our 69th grant for seizure-response dogs. It is because of people like you who make this possible. It is so amazing to watch these teams matched up and begin their journey together.
In addition, CHF provides life-saving movement monitors for those who struggle with seizures - particularly at night. We feel strongly that if we had known to be concerned and had a monitor in place, our sweet Chelsea might still be with us. We have provided over 275 monitors across the US to date, 3 in Canada and even one in Australia.
We have several individual microprojects on GlobalGiving in an attempt to fulfill our grant requests. You might find interesting to read about some of the individuals who are affected and what having a furry companion means to them.

Save the Date for STOMP Out Epilepsy and SUDEP. This is a National awareness walk that will take place in at least 10 cities across the United States in September. More information will follow.
Here are a few photos of our most recent teams. We hope you enjoy.
Thank you again for your support! You are truly changing the lives of those who struggle with seizures!
