Bridge To Cure was founded by the Siefert family, inspired by their daughter’s 10-year battle with epilepsy. In September 2018, she underwent a successful brain surgery performed by Dr. Doyle at NYU Langone — an operation that gave her a renewed chance at living a fuller life.

Through this journey, the Sieferts experienced firsthand the exhausting and relentless challenges of epilepsy. They also came to recognize that millions of others face the same struggle, many without access to life-changing treatments or curative options.

The mission of Bridge To Cure is to raise awareness of epilepsy’s impact on individuals, families, and communities, while driving fundraising efforts to advance the search for a cure — so that hope and healing can be possible for all.
