ROC STOP SEIZURES

ROC Stop Seizures: Empowering Lives Through Awareness and Experience

A Mission Born from Courage and Resilience

ROC Stop Seizures isn’t just an organization; it’s a beacon of hope, led by the indomitable spirit of Ryan O’Connor, an Army Veteran whose life took an unexpected turn at 36. Diagnosed with Epilepsy, Ryan, affectionately known as ROC, embarked on a quest not just for his own wellbeing but for the greater good of the Epilepsy community and fellow Veterans facing similar battles.

Together in Strength — Ryan & Marissa’s Unyielding Bond

At the heart of ROC Stop Seizures lies a love story that defies the odds. Ryan and Marissa’s partnership transcends the conventional, weaving together the dual perspectives of patient and caregiver. Their union, solidified in the face of Epilepsy’s unpredictability, stands as a testament to the power of shared experiences and mutual support.

From Personal Struggle to Public Advocacy

This 501(c)(3) corporation mirrors the O’Connor’s journey through life’s rollercoaster — from grappling with medication changes that wouldn’t stick to navigating the murky waters of unexplained seizures, from enduring hospital stays to undergoing brain implant surgery. Every step, every setback, every triumph is harnessed to fuel a greater cause: raising Epilepsy awareness through the lens of everyday life.

Raising the Banner for Epilepsy Awareness and Veteran Support

Through a tapestry of initiatives — from the intimate insights shared on their blog to the dynamic engagement on social media, from securing sponsorships to spearheading fundraising efforts — ROC Stop Seizures shapes a narrative that resonates. Their crowning project, Ryan’s Journey of 1000 Miles in October 2022, stands as a bold declaration of their commitment to the cause.

Join the Movement That’s More Than a Message

ROC Stop Seizures invites you to become part of a movement that’s changing lives. It’s more than spreading awareness; it’s about building a community that uplifts, educates, and inspires. It’s about creating a world where every story of Epilepsy, including those of our brave Veterans, is heard and honored.
