D.C. Stars Join Connie Milstein to Support CURE
Susan Axelrod, wife to political advisor David Axelrod, is the driving force behind the organization CURE, Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy and the mother or Lauren, their daughter, who has suffered for her entire life of 28 years from severe and untreatable epilepsy.
In order to increase awareness and help raise much needed funds, Connie Milstein hosted a “watch party” for CURE at her home in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C. Included on the guest list and in attendance were some current stars on the Washington political scene, such as Vice President Biden and his wife Dr. Jill Biden; National Security Advisor James Jones; Alan Greenspan; Rahm Emanuel, who has known Lauren since she was a baby, and his wife Amy; Ambassador Richard Holbrooke; and many more people all concerned that research for newer and more effective ways to help people with epilepsy be stepped up.
