S 01 E 06 “When Life Gives You Lemons…”

Written By Grace Witkowski

We chat with 15-year-old Hailey, whose twin sister, Livy, has cerebral palsy and was diagnosed with epilepsy after having her first seizures just a few hours after birth. Hailey is the CEO of the Epilepsy Foundation Kid’s Crew, a program aimed to help kids learn about epilepsy and advocacy. Along with her family, she started the charity Livy’s Hope (@livyshope). Livy’s Hope has worked with the Epilepsy Foundation of America to start Lemonade for Livy to raise funds for epilepsy research. Not only has she accomplished all of this, but she is Marvel Hero Project’s newest super hero!
