About the Foundation
Our Mission
The mission of the Isaiah Stone Foundation is to help families who care for someone who has epilepsy, support organizations seeking to cure the disease and inspire others to lead. We support people by giving them hope that a life without epilepsy is worth dreaming about, acting upon and pushing for each and every day.
The Isaiah Stone Foundation honors Isaiah’s memory by raising awareness about pediatric epilepsy, supporting parents of children who suffer from epilepsy, and raising money to fund medical research and practice. Our hope is that we can help someone else with epilepsy and be a part of finding a cure.
Our Partners
Some of pediatric epilepsy’s greatest challenges have been a lack of knowledge about the disease among the general public and a shortage of dedicated practitioners within the field of pediatric neurology.
