Why Donors Give

A Commitment to Giving Back

Ronny Simon (page 18)

Ronny was once the owner of the second largest privately owned roofing company in the USA. A diagnosis of epilepsy and the mounting stress of his successful company caused him to shut down his business. But he's still working very hard to raise funds that will one day lead to a cure for epilepsy.

"I believe people support causes that are dear to their hearts. In the case of the Epilepsy Foundation, there is a critical connection because Georgie has had epilepsy since he was 4 months old. More and more, I channel my giving into a few things that are close to my heart.

Mark Wallis (page 19)

"There's not one disorder that's better than another. I didn't pick epilepsy; it picked me, through Matt. I give because it's a commitment to helping others, not just Matt."
