Meet Alyssa Cerchio, the ONE behind Alyssa’s Purple Power💜
Diagnosed with epilepsy at 12, Alyssa is now 22 and has spent the past 10 years navigating life with epilepsy. While her journey has included difficult and uncertain moments, it has also shown her how strong and resilient she is. Through it all, her family and friends have stood beside her, reminding her that she never has to face epilepsy alone.
For Alyssa, Walk for the ONE is about celebrating how far she’s come while being part of something bigger than her own story.
“I walk for the 12-year-old girl who was first diagnosed and didn’t know what the years ahead would bring. I walk for the 22-year-old woman I am today and everything I have overcome along the way. And I walk for every person living with epilepsy who deserves to feel understood, supported, and hopeful about their future.”
We’re thrilled to have Alyssa’s Purple Power back for another Walk for the ONE!

📸 Highlights from the inaugural Jacksonian Epilepsy Summit!
Thank you to the clinicians, speakers, and partners who joined us on September 10 at the Molly Pitcher Inn in Red Bank, New Jersey, for an evening of learning, collaboration, and connection. We were honored to welcome Dr. Lorna Myers, Director of the Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures Program at Northeast Regional Epilepsy Group, who presented on Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES), and Dr. Rahul Guha, Epileptologist with Hackensack Meridian Health, who led an engaging case-based discussion that encouraged thoughtful dialogue among attendees.
The summit brought together epilepsy specialists and healthcare professionals from across New Jersey, including representatives from Hackensack Meridian Health, Rutgers Health, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital New Brunswick, Capital Health, Jersey Shore University Medical Center, and other organizations dedicated to improving epilepsy care. The evening provided opportunities for clinical learning, discussion of current treatment approaches, and meaningful peer-to-peer networking.
We are deeply grateful to our sponsors, whose support made this inaugural event possible: SK Life Science, UCB Pharmaceuticals, Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Neurelis, and Medtronic.
Together, we are building a stronger epilepsy care community and creating new opportunities for education, collaboration, and improved patient outcomes. Thank you to everyone who helped make the first Jacksonian Epilepsy Summit a success.
We are looking forward to hosting future Jacksonian Epilepsy Summits in 2027!

Start a Team for Your ONE!
Behind every team is a story. A child. A parent. A friend. Maybe even you.
As a Team Captain, you lead your story. You turn personal experience — your own or someone else’s — into purpose.
Your team becomes a reason to show up. ONE voice amplified. ONE step toward change.
The deadline to have a team sign made is October 13. You can still create a team and bring your own sign to the walk!
