Sydnee is a helper by nature. She is always concerned with the well being of others.  Recently, her teacher  gave her the chance to spread awareness at school. Below is a little about her experience and what she did. 

 

Sydnee courageously shared a speech with her classmates about her story with Dravet as well as how to help someone if they are having a seizure. She has endured bullying and misunderstandings due to her condition.  She doesn't want this to happen to anyone else. Sydnee is doing her part to raise awareness. 

​

Then Sydnee, with the help of her friends, successfully raised money for the Dravet Foundation.  Her classmates stepped up in a big way and bought almost all of the baked goods. She is a brave warrior that fights this battle with everything she has. As I am writing this, I received a call from Sydnee's school that she had two back to back seizures and rescue meds were administered. Despite being on three seizure medications her seizures persist.
