Abednego Experiences The Magic of Disney, Legoland, and Universal
Abednego, diagnosed with severe epilepsy, joined his loving family through all of the thrills that Disney, Universal, and LEGOLAND could give them in Orlando, Florida. They had a ball, enjoyed the weather, went parasailing, and even had a lightsaber fight.
Thank you from Abednego’s Family
“This trip has been absolutely amazing. My big family enjoyed the Florida weather and was able to experience new things like going to Walt Disney World and Parasailing. Abednego’s favorite part of this trip was meeting Darth Vader and being able to have a lightsaber fight. This trip has been so phenomenal to reconnect as a family and to make beautiful memories as a family. Thank you, sponsors and the Sunshine Foundation, for giving Abednego this dream trip.” – Abednego’s mother, April
Abednego’s Diagnosis
Abednego has a diagnosis of severe epilepsy, which is a chronic brain condition that causes recurring seizures. Groups of nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain sometimes send the wrong signals and cause seizures. There are many types of epilepsy. In some people, the cause can be identified. In others, the cause is not known.
