Strong. Brave. Hopeful.
Empowering Kids Living With Epilepsy and Rare Neurological Conditions
We’re on a mission to uplift families through coping, education, reimbursement, and support because no child should face these diagnoses alone.

GRIFFIN’S STORY
It Started with One Small Boy. With a Brave Heart.
Hospitals. Tests. Unknowns.
But even in the fear and the unknown, Griffin showed us something bigger: Strength. Bravery. Hope.
Today, the Strong Brave Hopeful Foundation exists to lift up other families who find themselves in that same fight — and to remind them they are never alone.
Ring20 Community
We are looking to build a community of families and individuals supporting a loved one living with Ring20 Chromosome Syndrome here in the U.S. Join our Ring20 Family Email List to stay connected and receive updates on potential research opportunities, updates from the Strong Brave Hopeful Foundation and Ring20 USA, and other information relevant to the Ring20 community. We also hope this list can connect members, foster relationships, and strengthen the Ring20 community across the United States in the future.
While our foundation primarily supports the pediatric population, for this particular email list and in connection with our efforts to support Ring20 research, we welcome families and individuals supporting a loved one with Ring20 regardless of their age.

Education & Advocacy
Easy-to-understand resources and conversations about epilepsy, Ring 20, and neurological disorders.
Reimbursement & Support

To Support Families, Spark Conversations, and Spread Hope
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” – Joshua 1:9
We believe God has a plan for every child and every family — even when the road is hard.
Strong Brave Hopeful was born from our own family’s story. Now, it’s a place where other families can find strength, courage, and hope too.
