Overview

Epilepsy awareness can be the most important tool in helping the “one out of 10 children who will experience an epileptic seizure in their lifetime" Join ToteMan©, in the quest to ease the impact to the over 45,000 children under the age of 15 who will develop epilepsy each year. ToteMan teaches epilepsy awareness to children by capturing their imagination with comic book stories that can help them learn how to react when they encounter an epileptic eizure. Many of our readers (some suffering from epilepsy, and their families) have responded that this ToteMan comic book has made a positive difference in improving understanding of epilepsy amongst children. We believe this information should be free of charge, and made available wherever children play, learn, and heal. Production planning for free distribution of ToteMan comic stories to schools, daycare centers and hospitals will be underway and help is needed to support this awareness campaign.
