\u201cThe neurosurgical laser purchased with your donations is a source of hope for people like me who are living with treatment-resistant epilepsy. I used to have up to five seizures a day. I\u2019ve now recovered and can hold my newborn in my arms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 2030, the number of people living with a neurological disease will have doubled.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Neurological diseases, take various forms: epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer\u2019s and Parkinson\u2019s, to name a few. In Canada, 170,000 people living in long-term care facilities are affected, as well as 3.6 million more in the general population. The likelihood of certain neurological diseases rises with age, which means these numbers will continue to go up as the population grows older.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
