Monique Smith (D -Fairview Park) introduced legislation yesterday (October 17) to designate October 26 as "Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy Awareness Day." The legislation, House Bill 731 is also known as 'Brenna's Law," in honor of the late Brenna Brossarddaughter of North Olmsted City Council President Lou Brossard, who passed away on January 30, 2022. after suffering an epileptic seizure. Said Rep. Smith: "I am proud to introduce this piece of legislation to spread awareness about Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). While this is a common cause of death in people with epilepsy, doctors are not required to disclosure the risks to patients, leaving families like Brenna's unaware of this risk and how to prevent it. We must educate parents and their families on how to prevent SUDEP and continue advocating on Brenna's behalf." October 26 was chosen because the 26 signifies the statistic that one in 26 people will develop epilepsy at some point in their lifetime. The date is celebrated by the Epilepsy Association of Cleveland. SUDEP is the sudden, unexpected death of a person with epilepsy who is otherwise healthy. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in 1,000 people with epilepsy die from SUDEP each year. Because there is no known cause for it as of now, the best way to lower one's risk is by controlling seizures through various therapies and management practices.
