Kortney Ecclestone (formerly Gerber) was diagnosed with epilepsy when she was in high school. In this episode, Kortney shares her timelines through this journey, as well as what kept her going through her surgeries and struggles. She’s been seizure free since her benign tumour was removed in October 2011!

A message from Kortney: “So… I know that when you listen to this podcast episode, you might think ‘wow, she sounds super happy and lighthearted about her whole experience.’ Please know… this is mostly nerves. My experience was real. It was emotional and traumatic and terrifying, and sometimes the best way to face fear is with laughter. I also want to point out how fortunate I have been. Not everyone is a candidate for surgery. I know that, and I am very grateful for the gift I have been given. I am also blessed with the most AMAZING friends and family… who love me and support me unconditionally.”

Kortney mentions Katie’s Run, which is in Haliburton on July 6, 2019.
