One in 26. Those are the odds of a person developing epilepsy, a little-known fact. One non-profit is working to change that through art.
"For epilepsy, research and funding. But more importantly, it actually exhibits artwork by people who have epilepsy," Chiteji said."There's one in Boston and also in Newport Beach," he said. "The show looks like it's going to do really well. So that's our goal this year, $20,000," Chiteji said."So, the importance of it is to make sure that people understand epilepsy.""If you walk around, you could walk down Milwaukee Avenue and you pass 26 people, one in 26 of those people has epilepsy," Chiteji said.It's a hidden truth, and the art of epilepsy show.
"So, come out, take a look at some of the great art, have some food and drink, and help support a great cause," Chiteji said.
