He is a certified teacher for the "Thinking About Epilepsy" program and wants to write a screenplay, inspired by the book, to express the significance of worldwide knowledge of the condition. "For decades. parts of society have made life challenging for individuals who have Epilepsy. Now it is time for an individual with Epilepsy to take on that challenge for the lives of others!" https://villageforepilepsyawareness.org/our-vision daily 0.75 2021-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f235b47db2bf186eed83bb/1626490014005-CBZYW1SWOM0CJUETZHDQ/Lowell+profile.jpg About - About Lowell Evans Born and raised in the early 1960s in the small town of Gloucester Va. as the youngest of nine children to the late Mr. Warner and Ellen Evans, Lowell G. Evans learned how to appreciate life itself. He noticed how his parents focused on taking care of their children, while still willing to lend a “Helping Hand” to others who lived in their community. People knew the Evans family for that reason and the fact that they placed God as number “One” in their lives. Lowell continued this same way of life when he moved to Norfolk, VA where he attended Virginia Wesleyan University and graduated in 1983. In 1980, during his sophomore year of college he had a fall while playing basketball and developed “Epilepsy.” He had no problem with this until he noticed that he could not find that “Support Group”, in other words, that “Village Concept” to assist him with this neurological condition that he was now facing. Lowell was determined to make a difference and succeed, even though many told him because of epilepsy he would not graduate from college, get a career, or even have a family. He achieved all goals that people said were not possible because of his epilepsy. In addition to doing so, he also wrote a novel titled, “The Village” to help educate society about epilepsy. Lowell’s book has been sold all around the world to people from all walks of life. He has even spoken at the largest epilepsy event in the world, the Epilepsy Awareness Day at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, more commonly known as the EADDL. In 2021, Lowell assisted in the passing of the Jamie and Brie Strong Act in his home state of Virginia. This now means that all the schools in the state of Virginia and their staff must receive Epilepsy Education and Seizure First Aid Training every two (2) years. This also includes the Bus Drivers. The next goal that Lowell and many people with epilepsy want to see is a movie for “The Village. Why? This will be just another way to reach the close to 3.5 million people in the United States who have Epilepsy. Because of the huge “Lack of Knowledge” of this neurological condition that still exists, people with epilepsy are denied some of the same opportunities in life that other individuals are given. With a movie we will have: “Victory Over Epilepsy; One Voice, One Village at a Time!” — Lowell Evans Executive Director, author of The Village is Coming https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f235b47db2bf186eed83bb/6e420427-1c5f-4006-a17a-e062d2786f6c/Jennifer+Sherry+Sam+and+I.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f235b47db2bf186eed83bb/1627487139490-ENYZ21Z4U5EUQ2YPD7I5/20210717_152737.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f235b47db2bf186eed83bb/8919bddf-2236-4038-bebe-0f9f79e6a57f/US+Senator+Mark+Warner.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f235b47db2bf186eed83bb/1627487313496-LVV9OYJX1F39YJMRSIIZ/Congressman+Bobby+Scott+%281%29.jpg About https://villageforepilepsyawareness.org/new-page daily 0.75 2021-07-20 https://villageforepilepsyawareness.org/gallery daily 0.75 2024-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f235b47db2bf186eed83bb/21761e7c-314e-4d4a-87ac-451f9c00e047/LOWELL_.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f235b47db2bf186eed83bb/b889425a-c29b-491a-a93c-cbef390db18f/Resized_Resized_20231211_113353_1702511844888_1702511850813.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f235b47db2bf186eed83bb/ee99401a-b547-4244-8908-c1e75322af13/Resized_20240323_094943_1711287514211.jpeg Gallery MC at Epilepsy Heroes Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f235b47db2bf186eed83bb/1716258148082-N9HZJMW334ZV2ZBUEKBF/IMG_4444.jpg Gallery Preparing for speaking engagement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f235b47db2bf186eed83bb/771133f4-7b75-4e39-920f-d4507f0ae2f9/20240323_140104.jpg Gallery People attending Epilepsy Heroes day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f235b47db2bf186eed83bb/36cb8f2b-d46b-4ab5-ae59-baac1b1fea78/20240323_134552.jpg Gallery Epilepsy caregiver. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f235b47db2bf186eed83bb/4998346c-bdb5-4f1b-bcee-5d3ebc5dfe30/20240323_085844.jpg Gallery Had epilepsy and was successful! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f235b47db2bf186eed83bb/b0af6ed6-6ea4-4893-a010-e54cf8efb3ee/20231110_202256.jpg Gallery Mother who lost her child to SUDEP.
