Where's Your Shine?


My amazing and talented friend, Gina Restivo, just published her very first solo book called "Speedy Shines", which is available on Amazon.  Gina is also the co-author of another book, "Fly Danny, Fly", also available on Amazon.

Gina doesn't have epilepsy.  Gina's kids don't have epilepsy, either.  Yet, Gina is a HUGE voice in epilepsy awareness, thanks to the sparkle and shine of Chelsea Hutchison and Danny Stanton. Part of the proceeds from the sales of "Speedy Shines" will benefit both the Chelsea Hutchison Foundation and the Danny Did Foundation.

The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation helps families who are living with epilepsy, by giving grants to help offset the cost of a seizure response dog.  They also help families who are in need of EMFIT monitors.

 The Danny Did Foundation helps families obtain EMFIT monitors.


The Danny Did Foundation is also a crucial player in raising awareness of SUDEP and helping to mainstream seizure detection devices that may help reduce the occurrence of SUDEP.

I hope you'll show your shine by purchasing a copy (or two;) of "Speedy Shines".  It's the book that will give gifts of independence, comfort, and love to those of us who live with epilepsy.
