"It doesn't slow them down, they keep on going and I love that," Curington said.
Curington is a summer intern with the Danny Did Foundation.
"The Danny Did Foundation was started in 2009 after my nephew Danny died from a seizure that he had during his sleep and he loved sports, loved basketball," said. Tom Stanton, the foundation's executive director. "We want to make kids with epilepsy and everyone with epilepsy feel included and this camp is a place where they can come and feel that way. If the seizure takes place, everything doesn't come to a screeching halt."
Stanton says there is still a lot of work to be done to help people understand and accept those with epilepsy.
