"Walking the steps of Congress and meeting with people who cared about what I had to say has motivated me in ways I didn’t expect. I was so excited to get home and keep pushing for change in the epilepsy community and for my year of service as a Teen Ambassador. Even though my year is done, I will always speak up for Epilepsy Awareness and keep the lessons learned in DC close to my heart."

AUGUST 14, 10:45 am ET: Watch Sail For Epilepsy's Phil Haydon and crew aboard Fearless LIVE in the Ida Lewis Distance Race! youtube.com//streams

The Ida Lewis Distance Race is an approximately 24-hour offshore sailing challenge, starting in the East Passage of Narragansett Bay in Newport, Rhode Island. With changing conditions, tactical decisions, and a full day and night at sea, it's a true test of sailing skill, strategy, and endurance.

Phil sails with medically controlled epilepsy to show that, with the right preparation and safety measures, people living with epilepsy can pursue extraordinary goals and live fuller lives. Every mile raced helps raise awareness, challenge misconceptions, and inspire others to take their own "One More Step" towards living a fuller life.

Whether you're a sailor, a member of the epilepsy community, or someone who loves following real adventures, we invite you to tune in LIVE on Friday, August 14, at 10:45am ET!
