“The only way to expand the Epilepsy Surgery program, at the CT Children’s Center, is to support the doctors with an expansion to the Neurology unit, and the only way to accomplish this is to raise funds,” said Ann-Marie Andriola.  “My child's quality of life changed substantially after this surgery for the better. I want all families to have access to services to help their child achieve the same. We hope to make a huge dent in this process with the Fashion for a cause event."
