Ginger Cove Lake Swim for Charity
Sunday, August 25th 730 am-??
John Lawlor ( lake resident #115) and friends will swim the entire circumference of the main lake and skinny river- approximately 2.5 miles- to raise awareness and donations for The Chelsea Hutchinson Foundation(501C3) that helps provide young people with Epilepsy with Seizure Response Service Dogs to help them gain independence and protect them from seizure related injuries. Our daughter, Brooke Lawlor-age 20-has endured epileptic seizures for over 18 years and has applied for one of these remarkable dogs. Please consider donating any amount to help Brooke and other young people like her in this worthwhile cause.
There are two ways to contribute:

We looked into this for my son. I was told you can't train a dog to detect seizures. This is not to say that there aren't some out there that are more apt to detect it. I'd be curious if there is more information out there.
ReplyDeleteHey Patti, I have no experience with service dogs. Above in the post they mentioned the service they are going to use http://www.domesti-pups.com/programs/service.php and the foundation that will also help Brooke. http://www.chelseahutchisonfoundation.org/?q=goals
ReplyDeleteI am guessing that the dog will help her in many ways along with seizure alert. She has had seizures going on 18 years now and needs other assistance.
Maybe there is some helpful information there for you.
Thanks so much for your post!
Hey Patti,
ReplyDeleteI got curious and found a post on National Geographic News talking about seizure dogs: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/04/0416_030416_seizuredogs.html
