Our Beginning
A Hero For Epileptics was founded by Bruno & Michelle Fiacco in 2016. Bruno has been battling epilepsy and seizures since he was a baby. He started AHFE to share his story, raise awareness around epilepsy, and help others realize that they can live full lives without feeling like they have any limitations.
“Don’t listen to the person who has the answers; listen to the person who has the questions.”
— Albert Einstein
