On a serious note...I could use some help from you all out there in blog-land!

OK folks...

I just got an email from Squidoo saying that my Run Out Epilepsy lens is nominated for lens of the year. :)

It is currently at #17 and could use your help.

If you find it in your heart, could you please go to http://www.squidoo.com/thelensoftheyearand, find my lens on the list (it will read http://www.squidoo.com/runoutepilepsy on the list FYI) and cast your vote? To vote, you need to click on the little triangle next to the lens name (http://www.squidoo.com/runoutepilepsy as it shows on the list), and it will vote for that lens. You can then select the link next to the point values to refresh and re-order. Thank you sooooo much!!!!

I have worked very hard in my philanthropy efforts over the years, and those who know me know how much this cause means to me. Gaining Lens of the Year, in addition to Lens of the Day, and the top ranked (for a short while at least) Lens for philanthropy, is not a personal thing for me. I get no fame or glory.

All this will accomplish is to raise the awareness about epilepsy, and to show those with E, that we can do anything we put our (sometimes fragile) minds to. You will have to register for Squidoo, but it is free and easy to do. And it would mean the world to me, and the entire ROE cause.

Thank you, regardless if you do or not, just for taking the time to read this.

~Jenniferlyn Running Out Epilepsy... 1 mile at a time.

Running out Epilepsy. My greater purpose in running.

There is not a running charity program for the Epilepsy Foundation of America, so I am starting my own!

Here is to the birth of Running Out Epilepsy. And here is to many more years of being siezure free!

I have set up a webpage to collect donations for the Epilepsy Foundation of America. The page tells a little bit about my story, and why it is so important to raise funds for the foundation and to advocate on behalf of all people with epilepsy.

Mine is but one of many stories of people who have discovered that they have it and never knew it until things got bad. I have AIWS, which is a rare but very very mild form of temporal lobe epilepsy. I am siezure free and able to go about my life normally, but many are not.

On this site you can donate money or read a little more. I also started a new blog - Run out Epilepsy to help spread the word. We are surely talking about grassroots here!

Thank you all for your support and positive comments!
