Stories of EHE

"The hope, passion, and motivation of those affected by EHE not only helped launch The EHE Foundation, but are also the driving force behind our continued progress. We vow to continue to stand against EHE on behalf of the fighters, survivors, and those taken too soon. This page represents some of our cherished EHE patients, who have willingly shared their story to help spread EHE awareness."

~ Jenni Kovach, President, The EHE Foundation
