PVF: A Personal Mission

Pediatric Victory Foundation was founded in 2016 by Monique and Howie Rosenthal. The Rosenthals daughter, Blayke, had been experiencing thirty-five seizure a day, stiffness in walking, extreme memory loss, blackouts and hallucinations. Blayke’s health quickly and devastatingly deteriorated.

Many visits to various doctors and medical institutions left the Rosenthal family nearly hopeless as they desperately sought answers…until meeting Dr. Raman Sankar, MD, PhD, Chief of Pediatric Neurology and Rubin Brown Distinguished Chair in Pediatric Neurology, and his team at UCLA.

DID YOU KNOW?

There are over 360,000 cases of American children under the age of 15 that have been diagnosed with epilepsy, with over 200,000 new cases being diagnosed each year. One out of 26 people have active epilepsy and one out of five people in their lifetime will suffer a seizure. Thirty percent of children with epilepsy also have a neurological disorder, such as autism. Individuals with drug-resistant epilepsy must seek out different treatment protocols.
