Vote for Erin

Friends, please join us in supporting Erin Leyden, the founder of the Epilepsy Outreach Foundation.

Erin began the Epilepsy Outreach Foundation two years ago after her son, Emmett, began having hundreds of seizures a day.  Her goal was to create a foundation for families like hers in need of information, education and support in dealing with Epilepsy.  As a result of her hard work, Erin is now a finalist for People Magazine's All Stars.

Erin is representing her hometown team, the Chicago Cubs. Voting is through June 24th and there is no limit to the amount of times you can vote, so visit the site often.  If Erin is a winner, she will be featured in People Magazine and gain invaluable national exposure for the Epilepsy Outreach Foundation as well as join 30 other finalists on the field at the All Stars Game on July 14th in St. Louis.

Voting has ended and winners will be announced on July 29th....stay tuned!
