  2. Dear Clair,

    How’s it going? I’m Mason Perry, an intern for Lifey Health, a company based in Provo, UT. We collect survey responses and take videos of people with health conditions and then post them on our website to share with others who unfortunately deal with that health condition. Our purpose is to collect the info and the freely share it out in hopes that it will be an asset to others dealing with said health condition. We hope to make them more informed, feel more comfortable, and to know someone out there is with them.

    One health condition that I chose to work on is epilepsy. For the past 2 months, I have been collecting surveys and talking with people who have dealt with this unfortunate illness. I noticed that you have a blog about epilepsy, and I was wondering if I could ask a favor of you! We would love to include your blog on our epilepsy blog list! We would also really love to include a link to our epilepsy page (lifey.org/epilepsy) on your website too! If you are interested, feel free to reply to this e-mail and let me know! Thanks so much!

    Regards,

    Mason Perry
