Adelyn (Addie) Stroup


addie collageHi, my name is Adelyn, but I like to go by “Addie”. My favorite things are going to school, watching Frozen, Tinkerbell & Dumbo, eating at chick-fil-a at the mall on Saturdays, and playing with my brother Oliver & sister Vivianna .

I have a rare brain disorder called Aicardi Syndrome. It causes me to have seizures which really scare me and I don’t like them.  Most of the seizures happen at night so I don’t like to sleep.  I would much rather play with my Elsa doll and watch the iPad than sleep.

I know it is a challenge for my family but I am VERY lucky to have them.  Ollie & Vivi help me a lot and are my best friends.  My daddy and mommy always spend time with be and make me laugh all the time!  They tell me that I have inspired them to raise money to help other children like me with epilepsy so other kids don’t ever have to go through these scary times.

If you want to help them make a difference, you can make a gift to support our cause any time of day or night by using our secure online giving site. Give now.

Thank you all for visiting my website and for giving to a good cause!
