The Kids Speak Up! Campaign provides an opportunity for young people between the ages of 7 and 16 years of age to go to Washington, D.C. to meet with their elected officials and to help the Foundation present the need for a better public understanding of epilepsy and research toward a cure. Joining Joyce is Nichelle Schoultz, State Relations and Grassroots Manager for the National Epilepsy Foundation and Activities Coordinator for the Speak Up Speak Out advocacy campaign, including Kids Speak Up!, and Brady Stevenson and Matt Wurzer, two student participants in the Kids Speak Up! Campaign. Ms. Schoultz monitors state and federal issues, primarily involving access to health care.
