Nine year old uses mother’s experience to raise epilepsy awareness
If you ask nine-year-old Evan Newhook what his favorite thing to do is, he’ll say draw.
The outgoing Woodland Elementary student has a set of drawing pencils, a sketchbook and a Crayola Sketch Wizard, which he received for Christmas. He loves to draw trucks; they are his specialty.
One of his most popular drawings to date is a butterfly, but it’s not just any butterfly. It has a purple epilepsy awareness ribbon for a body. Evan’s mom, Lisa, has epilepsy.
The Epilepsy Network is a worldwide community of people with epilepsy, family and friends, uniting to talk about their experiences, learn information about epilepsy, ask questions and so much more! Don’t let epilepsy defeat you, let it inspire you!
