Heather Overton, a junior at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, is on a roll. In late March, Overton was named one of 16 national winners of the 2005 Pfizer Epilepsy Scholarship Award. On April 19, the support group she helped found celebrated its first anniversary. And, on June 3, if all goes as planned, Overton will celebrate two years of being seizure free.https://www.unmc.edu/newsroom/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/overtonheather2005.jpg
