'Heroes' Star Greg Grunberg Shares His Son's Fight Against Epilepsy

Greg Grunberg may play a "hero" on TV, but he is also a hero in real life to his son, Jake, who suffers from epilepsy. I had a chance to sit down with Grunberg, the star of NBC's Heroes, who is not only passionate about the cause, but he is determined and dedicated to the fight against epilepsy because his oldest son was diagnosed at the age of 7.

Greg and his family are like the millions of other families who have learned a lot about the challenges of the condition, and they continue to work with Jake's doctors to find a treatment plan that will manage his seizures.

Greg and his family went to Washington, D-C to make a presentation at a Congressional hearing about the importance of maintaining dialogue with a doctor to help manager the condition.

Greg is also participating in Epilepsy Foundation's 4th Anuual National Walk for Epilepsy on March 27 at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Greg will provide live updates about the walk on Twitter @greggrunberg.

Grunberg created the website www.talkaboutit.org, which is geared towards raising awareness about epilepsy and has a social networking component for visitors. For more on the cause go to www.TalkAboutIt.org.
